Network analyses of animal movement

Determining how animals move within their environment is a fundamental knowledge that contributes to effective management and conservation. In our latest video, David Jacoby and Edd Brooks explain how their paper brings together two disparate and rapid advancing fields: biotelemetry and social networking analyses. In a paper recently published in Methods, David, Edd and colleagues Darren Croft and David Sims, demonstrate some of the descriptive and … Continue reading Network analyses of animal movement

Measuring functional connectivity using butterflies

Long-term datasets yield a great deal of information and are increasingly used to inform conservation measures. In the first video of the new year, Gary Powney and Tom Oliver show how long-term monitoring data on the Speckled Wood butterfly (Pararge aegeria) from the UK monitoring butterfly scheme can be used to assess functional connectivity of the landscape. In a paper recently published in Methods, Gary … Continue reading Measuring functional connectivity using butterflies
