Abstract Background Access to critical resources, including food, water, or shelter, significantly determines individual fitness. As these resources are limited in most habitats, animals may employ strategies of landscape partitioning mitigate the impact direct resource competition. Territoriality be regarded as an aggressive form partitioning, but other forms exist non-territorial species. Animals living groups with greater flexibility their association patterns, such multilevel societies fission–fusion dynamics, adjust grouping and space use patterns short-term variations ecological conditions food availability, predation pressure, presence conspecific groups. This allow them balance costs competition while reaping benefits better predator detection defence. Methods We explored among neighbouring Guinea baboon ( Papio papio ) parties Niokolo-Koba National Park, Senegal. baboons live a society which predictably higher-level associations (“gangs”). used four years locational data from individuals equipped GPS collars estimate annual home ranges, range overlap, average minimum distances between parties. examined whether availability levels affected cohesion 2022. Results found substantial overlap core area (33 100%). Food did not affect distance closest party; was less than 100 m. Conclusions Our results suggest low level feeding our study Whether this is general feature particular situation Park remains investigated.

Social animals make behavioural decisions based on local habitat and conspecifics, as well memorized past experience (i.e. 'familiarity') with conspecifics. Here, we develop a conceptual empirical understanding of how spatial social familiarity fit within the spatial-social interface-a novel framework integrating components animal behaviour. We conducted multi-scale analysis movements GPS-collared plains bison (

Human disturbance is contributing to widespread, global changes in the distributions and densities of wild animals. These anthropogenic impacts on wildlife arise from multiple bottom-up top-down pathways, including habitat loss, resource provisioning, climate change, pollution, infrastructure development, hunting our direct presence. Animal behaviour an important mechanism linking these disturbances population outcomes, although behavioural pathways are often complex can remain obscured when different aspects studied isolation one another. The spatial–social interface provides a lens for understanding how animal’s spatial social environments interact determine its phenotype (i.e. measurable characteristics individual), phenotypes feed back reshape environments. Here, we review studies animal at understand predict human affects movement, distribution intraspecific interactions, with consequences conservation populations ecosystems. By mechanisms better design management interventions mitigate undesired disturbance. This article part theme issue ‘The interface: theoretical empirical integration’.

Networks are now widely used to represent, quantify and model animal behaviour. These approaches have proved valuable in linking individual behaviours emergent population level patterns quantifying the implications of these structures for wider ecological evolutionary processes. However, there diverse conceptual representations network data choosing right tool answer a particular question can be challenging. Here I provide an overview different representations, highlighting their potential applications behavioural ecology drawing attention key resources help with implementation. My aim is accessible guide that helps ecologists take full advantage ways which generate social other networks.

Early-life experiences can drive subsequent variation in social behaviours, but how differences among individuals emerge remains unknown. We combined experimental manipulations with GPS-tracking to investigate the pathways through which developmental conditions affect network position during early dispersal of wild red kites (Milvus milvus). Across 211 juveniles from 140 broods, last-hatched chicks-the least competitive-had fewest number peer encounters after fledging. However, when food supplemented, they had more than all others. Using 4425 bird-days GPS data, we revealed that this was driven by differential responses competition, less competitive naturally spreading out into marginal areas, and clustering central foraging areas supplemented. Our results suggest early-life adversities cause significant natal legacies on individual behaviour beyond independence, potentially far-reaching consequences spatial structure animal populations.

Abstract Density dependence is a fundamental ecological process. In particular, animal habitat selection and social behavior often affect fitness in density-dependent manner. The Ideal Free Distribution (IFD) niche variation hypothesis (NVH) present distinct predictions associated with Optimal Foraging Theory about how the effect of on varies population density. Using caribou ( Rangifer tarandus ) Canada as model system, we test competing hypotheses specialization, behavior, annual reproductive success (co)vary across density gradient. Within behavioral reaction norm framework, estimate repeatability, plasticity, covariance among to investigate adaptive value sociality selection. support NVH, but not IFD, find that at high specialists had higher than generalists, were also less suggesting possibility avoid competition. Our study supports mechanism for specialization.

Studying the spatial–social interface requires tools that distinguish between social and spatial drivers of interactions. Testing hypotheses about factors determining animal interactions often involves comparing observed with reference or ‘null’ models. One approach to accounting for in models is randomizing movement paths decouple phenotypes while maintaining environmental effects on movements. Here, we update a model detects attraction above effect constraints. We explore use our ‘wrap-around’ method compare its performance previous using agent-based simulations. The wrap-around provides are more similar original tracking data, still distinguishing drivers. Furthermore, results fewer false-positives than predecessor, especially when animals do not return one place each night but change foci, either locally directionally. Finally, show among GPS-tracked griffon vultures ( Gyps fulvus ) emerge from rather constraints their conclude by highlighting biological situations which updated might be most suitable testing underlying causes This article part theme issue ‘The interface: theoretical empirical integration’.

Understanding how wildlife responds to the spread of human-dominated habitats is a major challenge in ecology. It still poorly understood urban areas affect space-use patterns and consistent intra-specific behavioural differences (i.e. types; BTs), which turn shape various ecological processes. To address these questions, we investigated movements common resident wader, spur-winged lapwing ( Vanellus spinosus ), hypothesizing that individuals will be more mobile than rural ones. We used an ATLAS tracking system track many n = 135) at high resolution over several months each. first established daily movement indices show among individuals, acting as spatial-BTs. Then focusing on two main principle components lapwings’ movements—mobility position along exploration–exploitation gradient—we BTs are shaped by urbanization, season (nesting versus non-nesting) sex. found lapwings were indeed both seasons. Furthermore, females less explorative females, especially during nesting season. These results highlight urbanization affects behaviour, even apparently urban-resilient avian residents. This underscores need consider possible consequences only apparent through advanced methods.
