Individual behavioural variation is a driver of population dynamics and key for the adaptation and persistence of species. In colonial species, individuals share the same ecological niche and aggregat...

1). Erroneous locations are ubiquitous in animal tracking data and prove notoriously difficult to remove, particularly so in an unsupervised manner. Whether caused by poor satellite geometry, atmosphe...

Scavengers generally rely on patchily distributed, unpredictable carrion. A long-standing hypothesis suggests scavenging ravens reliably locate such food by directly following large carnivores to thei...

Tracking the behaviour of tagged animals from space could transform the research into a host of natural phenomena

Soaring flight developed as a result of behavioural and morphological adaptations that allow birds to reduce the metabolic cost of flight by harnessing the energy available in the atmosphere. Despite ...
