Animal Movement and Emergent Patterns of Space Use - A Personal Journey With Plentiful References to Mark Lewis

Explore animal movement and emergent patterns of space use in this 52-minute lecture by Jonathan Potts from the University of Sheffield. Delve into topics such as animal interactions in the emergence of territoriality, step selection models, and the ecological community. Learn about linear stability analysis, bifurcation analysis, and the integration of environmental factors in animal behavior studies. Gain insights from Potts' personal journey in the field, with numerous references to Mark Lewis' work. This talk, part of the "Workshop on Advances in Mathematical Ecology" at the Fields Institute, offers a comprehensive overview of mathematical approaches to understanding animal movement and spatial patterns in ecology.
