Where nothing stands still: quantifying nomadism in Australian arid-zone birds
ContextNomadism is a movement strategy in response to non-seasonal environmental variability. Knowledge of nomadic species movements is poor but is...

Benefit and Risk Analysis of a Novel Nomadic Practice in Northeast China
Wise utilization of crop straw wastes, control of autumn–winter haze pollution, and degraded soil improvement for agriculture security have been...

Individual and seasonal variation in the movement behavior of two tropical nectarivorous birds
BackgroundMovement of animals directly affects individual fitness, yet fine spatial and temporal resolution movement behavior has been studied in...

Movement ecology during non-breeding season in a long-distance migratory shorebird: are space use and movement patterns sex-biased?
In many gregarious species, sex-specific differences can lead to significant variation in movement patterns and, consequently, to social and spatial...

Do beluga whales truly migrate? Testing a key trait of the classical migration syndrome
BackgroundMigration enables organisms to access resources in separate regions that have predictable but asynchronous spatiotemporal variability in...

GPS tracking analyses reveal finely-tuned shorebird space use and movement patterns throughout the non-breeding season in high-latitude austral intertidal areas
BackgroundLong-distance migratory birds spend most of their annual cycle in non-breeding areas. During this period birds must meet their daily...

Long-term home ranging in the large sea cucumber, Holothuria fuscopunctata
Long-term movements of adult marine animals predicate spatial management measures. Sea cucumbers are intensely exploited worldwide, yet few studies...

Diet and occurrences of the letter-winged kite in a predation refuge
Nomadism is an advantageous life history strategy for specialised predators because it enables the predator to respond rapidly to changes in prey...

Impermeable landscape barrier does not affect the dispersion of small mammals after long-distance movement on a scale of hundreds of metres
The long-distance movement of small terrestrial mammals ensures functional connectivity between populations. This movement depends on both landscape...

A method to predict connectivity for nomadic waterbird species from tracking data
ContextNomadic waterbird species move erratically, which makes it difficult to predict site use and connectivity over time. This is particularly...
