Modeling the emergence of migratory corridors and foraging hot spots of the green sea turtle by Mayeul Dalleau, Stephanie Kramer‐Schadt, Yassine Gangat, Jérôme Bourjea, Gilles Lajoie, Volker Grimm

“…Based on our results, we propose specific guidelines for the regional conservation of green turtles as well as future research suggestions advancing spatial ecology of sea turtles. Being implemented in an easy to learn open‐source software, our model can coevolve with the collection and analysis of new data on energy budget and movement into a generic tool for sea turtle research and conservation. …”

Competition-dispersal tradeoff ecologically differentiates recently speciated marine bacterioplankton populations by Yawata, Yutaka, Menolascina, Filippo, Hehemann, Jan-Hendrik, Stocker, Roman, Cordero Sanchez, Otto X., Polz, Martin F

“…These results demonstrate that the principles of spatial ecology, traditionally applied at macroscales, can be extended to the ocean’s microscale to understand how the rich spatiotemporal structure of the resource landscape contributes to the fine-scale ecological differentiation and species coexistence among marine bacteria.…”

Three-dimensional random walk models of individual animal movement and their application to trap counts modelling by Ahmed, D, Benhamou, S, Bonsall, M, Petrovskii, S

“…</p> <p><strong>Conclusion:</strong> Our results provide a better understanding of the interplay between the movement pattern, trap geometry and impacts on trapping efficiency, which leads to improved trap count interpretations, and more broadly, has implications for spatial ecology and population dynamics.</p>…”

Dual‐isotope isoscapes for predicting the scale of fish movements in lowland rivers by Emily R. Winter, Andrew M. Hindes, Steve Lane, J. Robert Britton

“…Abstract Assessments of patterns of animal movements are important for understanding their spatial ecology. Geostatistical models of stable isotope (SI) landscapes (isoscapes) provide a complementary tool to telemetry for assessing and predicting animal movements, but are rarely applied to riverine species. …”

Seascape Configuration and Fine-Scale Habitat Complexity Shape Parrotfish Distribution and Function across a Coral Reef Lagoon by Maria Eggertsen, Dinorah H Chacin, Joshua van Lier, Linda Eggertsen, Christopher J Fulton, Shaun Wilson, Christina Halling, Charlotte Berkström

“…This study shows how both broad-scale (seascape configuration of coral structure) and fine-scale habitat complexity (structure height, number of holes, and presence of macroalgae) can influence the abundance and spatial ecology of reef fish. Underwater visual census of fish, surveys of habitats, remote underwater videos, and behavioral observations by following individual fish were used to quantify fine-scale habitat characteristics (e.g., complexity, coral structure height, macroalgae presence) and the abundance, size structure, and behavior (rates of herbivory, tortuosity ratios and total distance travelled) of abundant parrotfish. …”
