Abstract

Recent proliferation of GPS technology has transformed animal movement research. Yet, time-series data from this recent technology rarely span beyond a decade, constraining longitudinal research. Long-term field sites hold valuable historic animal location records, including hand-drawn maps and semantic descriptions. Here, we introduce a generalised workflow for converting such records into reliable location data to estimate home ranges, using 30 years of sleep-site data from 11 white-faced capuchin (Cebus imitator) groups in Costa Rica. Our findings illustrate that historic sleep locations can reliably recover home range size and geometry. We showcase the opportunity our approach presents to resolve open questions that can only be addressed with very long-term data, examining how home ranges are affected by climate cycles and demographic change. We urge researchers to translate historical records into usable movement data before this knowledge is lost; it is essential to understanding how animals are responding to our changing world.

对历史记录进行地理统计综合的新方法揭示了卷尾猴对气候和人口变化的空间反应。
近来全球定位系统技术的普及改变了动物运动研究。然而,这种最新技术的时间序列数据很少超过十年,限制了纵向研究。长期的野外地点拥有宝贵的动物位置历史记录,包括手绘地图和语义描述。在这里,我们利用哥斯达黎加 11 个白面卷尾猴(Cebus imitator)群落 30 年的睡眠地点数据,介绍了将此类记录转换为可靠位置数据的通用工作流程,以估算家园范围。我们的研究结果表明,历史睡眠地点可以可靠地恢复家园范围的大小和几何形状。我们展示了我们的方法所带来的机会,它可以解决只有通过非常长期的数据才能解决的悬而未决的问题,研究气候周期和人口变化对家园范围的影响。我们敦促研究人员将历史记录转化为可用的运动数据,以免这些知识丢失;这对了解动物如何应对我们不断变化的世界至关重要。

期刊介绍: Ecology Letters serves as a platform for the rapid publication of innovative research in ecology. It considers manuscripts across all taxa, biomes, and geographic regions, prioritizing papers that investigate clearly stated hypotheses. The journal publishes concise papers of high originality and general interest, contributing to new developments in ecology. Purely descriptive papers and those that only confirm or extend previous results are discouraged.
