The Statistical Building Blocks of Animal Movement Simulations

This paper introduces a method to decompose animal movement tracks into statistical movement elements (StaMEs) and uses them to simulate realistic movement paths at different spatio-temporal scales.

Simulation and Analysis of Animal Movement Paths using Numerus Model Builder

The paper simulates and analyzes animal movement paths using a statistical model to evaluate how well it captures patterns from empirical data.

A quantitative narrative on movement, disease and patch exploitation in nesting agent groups

The paper introduces a simulator to study movement, disease, and social dynamics in nesting animal groups, using agent-based modeling to develop quantitative narratives for ecological understanding.
