An open-source hardware GPS data logger for wildlife radio-telemetry studies: A case study using Eastern box turtles by Patrick W. Cain, Matthew D. Cross

“…Global Positioning System (GPS) telemetry technology has been a boon to animal spatial ecology studies. Oftentimes, the main limitation to widespread application of this technology is the cost, which can dictate the number of individuals outfitted with GPS technology, thereby limiting sample sizes. …”

Unifying the spatial epidemiology and molecular evolution of emerging epidemics. by Pybus, O, Suchard, M, Lemey, P, Bernardin, F, Rambaut, A, Crawford, F, Gray, R, Arinaminpathy, N, Stramer, S, Busch, M, Delwart, E

“…We introduce a conceptual bridge between the previously unlinked fields of phylogenetics and mathematical spatial ecology, which enables the spatial parameters of an emerging epidemic to be directly estimated from sampled pathogen genome sequences. …”

ANALYSIS OF THE SA'O ATALAKI TRADITIONAL HOUSE, ENDE REGENCY IN A GEOGRAPHICAL SPATIAL PERSPECTIVE by Dentiana Rero, Enok Maryani

“…Meanwhile, spatial planning in geography is divided into no parts, namely spatial, spatial ecology, and spatial complex. The spatial arrangement of traditional houses and geography is made according to the needs of each spatial function, as well as social and environmental impacts.   …”

Pathwalker: A new individual-based movement model for conservation science and connectivity modelling by Unnithan Kumar, S, Kaszta, Ż, Cushman, SA

“…The study of landscape connectivity—the extent to which a landscape facilitates organism movement—has grown to become a central focus of spatial ecology and conservation science. Several computational algorithms have been developed to model connectivity; however, the major models in use today are limited by their lack of flexibility and simplistic assumptions of movement behaviour. …”
