The paper analyzes the spatial behavior of reintroduced kakapo in a novel environment, finding unexpected mobility, synchronized movement, and habitat selection preferences.

This paper introduces a three-dimensional step selection function to analyze animal movement and habitat selection, demonstrating its application with Antarctic petrel data.

This paper introduces a generalized additive model approach to estimate movement kernels in habitat selection analyses, improving flexibility and accuracy by accounting for dependencies between step lengths and turning angles.

This paper extends step selection analysis by incorporating non-linear and random effects using penalised smooths in the mgcv R package, enhancing flexibility and biological realism in modeling animal movement and habitat selection.

The paper examines maternal den site fidelity in western Hudson Bay polar bears using telemetry data, finding moderate fidelity to denning areas but not specific sites.
