Modern breeding has formed a multitude of cattle breeds ranging from undemanding, low-productive breeds to high-productive, specialized dairy, or beef cattle. The choice of breed has important implications for farm management, but its impact on pasture vegetation is underestimated. We hypothesized (i) that anatomy, movement, and foraging behavior o...

This study examined the associations between environmental characteristics of early childhood education and care (ECEC) centers and 1-year change in toddlers' physical activity and sedentary behavior while at the centers. Data from 292 toddlers from the GET-UP! study were analyzed. Environmental characteristics of ECEC centers were rated using the ...

Effects of anthropogenic activities on habitats and species communities and populations are complex and vary across species depending on their ecological traits. Movement ecology may provide important insights into species’ responses to habitat structures and quality. We investigated how movement behavior across a human‐modified landscape depends o...

As urbanization increases globally, wildlife must respond. We applied concepts from foraging behavior to determine how coyote movement behavior varies across a gradient of urbanization. In suburban landscapes, coyotes responded positively by requiring less space to live. In highly urbanized landscapes, coyotes responded negatively by requiring more...

Animal movement and dispersal are key factors in population dynamics and support complex ecosystem processes like cross-boundary subsidies. Juvenile dispersal is an important mechanism for many species and often involves navigation in unfamiliar habitats. For species that metamorphose, such as amphibians, this transition from aquatic to terrestrial...

The Spanish slug (Arion vulgaris) is one of the most problematic invasive species in Europe and a serious pest species in agriculture and gardens, and it can have negative effects on native slug species. In this study, we used passively intergraded transponder (PIT) telemetry to determine the movement behavior of 57 Spanish slugs during autumn in t...

To examine the effect of soil type on carrot weevil, Listronotus oregonensis, (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), movement behavior we conducted a series of laboratory arena experiments with the use of three soil types: mineral soil, organic soil and pure sand. We found that soil type influences carrot weevil burrowing activity and movement and showed tha...

Variation in the home-range size of nesting animals is thought to be driven by nutritional requirements, food availability, and predation risk of the animals during foraging. Only few studies have considered that the risk of nest predation may also affect home-range size because nests become more difficult to defend as animals move further away. We...

Actors change their movement strategies to complement a coactor's movements when performing cooperative tasks. To further investigate this topic, the authors designed a pegboard task whereby a participant-confederate pair worked together to move a peg from one side of the board to the other. The authors examined how the experience of working with a...
