A mechanistic statistical approach to infer invasion characteristics of human-dispersed species with complex life cycle

The paper develops a Bayesian statistical method to infer invasion characteristics of human-dispersed species by integrating life-history dynamics and transportation network data.

Bridging the gap between movement data and connectivity analysis using the time-explicit Step Selection Function (tSSF)

This paper introduces the time-explicit Step Selection Function (tSSF) to analyze animal movement and connectivity, revealing how habitat selection and time of day influence movement patterns in giant anteaters.

Accounting for location uncertainty in azimuthal telemetry data improves ecological inference

The paper introduces a novel azimuthal telemetry model to account for location uncertainty in ecological analyses and shows its benefits over existing methods.

Reflected stochastic differential equation models for constrained animal movement

The paper develops reflected stochastic differential equation models to analyze constrained animal movement, applying them to Steller sea lion telemetry data.
