African wild dog movements show contrasting responses to long and short term risk of encountering lions: analysis using dynamic Brownian bridge movement models
BackgroundPrey depletion is a threat to the world’s large carnivores, and is likely to affect subordinate competitors within the large carnivore...

Modeling the movement of Oecophylla smaragdina on short-length scales in an unfamiliar environment
The movement of individual weaver ants, of Oecophylla smaragdina , was previously tracked within an unfamiliar arena. We develop an empirical model,...

Distance-dependent inhibition of translation initiation by downstream out-of-frame AUGs is consistent with a Brownian ratchet process of ribosome scanning
BackgroundEukaryotic ribosomes are widely presumed to scan mRNA for the AUG codon to initiate translation in a strictly 5′–3′ movement (i.e.,...

Using pseudo-absence models to test for environmental selection in marine movement ecology: the importance of sample size and selection strength
BackgroundUnderstanding the selection of environmental conditions by animals requires knowledge of where they are, but also of where they could have...

Reptiles on the wrong track? Moving beyond traditional estimators with dynamic Brownian Bridge Movement Models
BackgroundAnimal movement expressed through home ranges or space-use can offer insights into spatial and habitat requirements. However, different...

An assessment of the contact rates between individuals when movement is modelled by a correlated random walk
Understanding how individuals come into contact with each other is important in many fields from biology and ecology to robotics and physics....

Environmental and anthropogenic influences on movement and foraging in a critically endangered lemur species, Propithecus tattersalli: implications for habitat conservation planning
BackgroundWildlife conservation often focuses on establishing protected areas. However, these conservation zones are frequently established without...

Bridging the gap between movement data and connectivity analysis using the Time-Explicit Habitat Selection (TEHS) model
BackgroundUnderstanding how to connect habitat remnants to facilitate the movement of species is a critical task in an increasingly fragmented world...

Cell constriction requires processive septal peptidoglycan synthase movement independent of FtsZ treadmilling in Staphylococcus aureus
Bacterial cell division requires recruitment of peptidoglycan (PG) synthases to the division site by the tubulin homologue, FtsZ. Septal PG synthases...

Exploring the interplay between small and large scales movements in a neotropical small mammal
We record and analyze the movement patterns of the marsupial Didelphis aurita at different temporal scales. Animals trajectories are collected at a...

Novel form of collective movement by soil bacteria
Although migrations are essential for soil microorganisms to exploit scarce and heterogeneously distributed resources, bacterial mobility in soil...

Statistical Analysis of Cellular Directional Movement: Application for Research of Single Cell Movement
Cell movement plays a fundamental role in physiological collective phenomena including angiogenesis. In early studies, it has been mainly discussed...

First look on the home range, movement, and habitat selection of the invasive Northern raccoon (Procyon lotor) in France through two contrasted populations
Introduction of invasive alien species (IAS) is one of the main threats to biodiversity. The Northern raccoon ( Procyon lotor ), here after named...

Molecular, Brownian, kinetic and stochastic models of the processes in photosynthetic membrane of green plants and microalgae
The paper presents the results of recent work at the Department of Biophysics of the Biological Faculty, Lomonosov Moscow State University on the...

Large- and small-scale movement and distribution of acoustically tagged lake sturgeon (Acipenser fulvescens) in eastern Lake Erie
BackgroundDefining the spatial distribution, home range, and movement patterns of lake sturgeon ( Acipenser fulvescens ) is important to managers and...

Space use and movement patterns of translocated bighorn sheep
Ungulate species have consistently been a major focus of reintroductions to their native ranges. Bighorn sheep ( Ovis canadensis ) are an ecologically...

Modelling animal movement as Brownian bridges with covariates
BackgroundThe ability to observe animal movement and possible correlates has increased strongly over the past decades. Methods to analyze...

Tidal and diel effects on the movement and space use of bull sharks (Carcharhinus leucas) and bonnetheads (Sphyrna tiburo) in a Florida Estuary
Large estuaries are often highly productive and biodiverse areas of ecological and economical significance. Assessing the movement behavior and space...

A role for lakes in revealing the nature of animal movement using high dimensional telemetry systems
Movement ecology is increasingly relying on experimental approaches and hypothesis testing to reveal how, when, where, why, and which animals move....

Mitochondrial movement during its association with chloroplasts in Arabidopsis thaliana
Plant mitochondria move dynamically inside cells and this movement is classified into two types: directional movement, in which mitochondria travel...
