Wright,&nbsp;James Thorburn,&nbsp;Sophie Smout","doi":"10.1111/2041-210X.14193","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1111/2041-210X.14193","url":null,"abstract":"Passive acoustic telemetry is widely used to study the movements of aquatic animals. However, a holistic, mechanistic modelling framework that permits the reconstruction of fine‐scale movements and emergent patterns of space use from detections at receivers remains lacking. Here, we introduce an integrative modelling framework that recapitulates the movement and detection processes that generate detections to reconstruct fine‐scale movements and patterns of space use. This framework is supported by a new family of algorithms designed for detection and depth observations and can be flexibly extended to incorporate other data types. Using simulation, we illustrate applications of our framework and evaluate algorithm utility and sensitivity in different settings. As a case study, we analyse movement data collected from the Critically Endangered flapper skate (Dipturus intermedius) in Scotland. We show that our methods can be used to reconstruct fine‐scale movement paths, patterns of space use and support habitat preference analyses. For reconstructing patterns of space use, simulations show that the methods are consistently more instructive than the most widely used alternative approach (the mean‐position algorithm), particularly in clustered receiver arrays. For flapper skate, the reconstruction of movements reveals responses to disturbance, fine‐scale spatial partitioning and patterns of space use with significant implications for marine management. We conclude that this framework represents a widely applicable methodological advance with applications to studies of pelagic, demersal and benthic species across multiple spatiotemporal scales.","PeriodicalId":208,"journal":{"name":"Methods in Ecology and Evolution","volume":"14 10","pages":"2626-2638"},"PeriodicalIF":6.6,"publicationDate":"2023-08-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/2041-210X.14193","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41087541","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In doing so, we were able to get a glimpse of the social life of animals from a wide variety of taxa, and to attempt to make sense of it, for all kinds of purposes, be it hunting or scientific knowledge. Often, those various purposes lead to the same outcomes: taking notice of their patterns and habits or recording their communicative displays and making use of them. Observing animals is not an easy task, and making sense of their sociality even less so. While observing wild animals has remained the major channel through which we can make sense of their social lives, humans are additionally aided by an ever-increasing tool set to do so, fuelled by our ever-improving technology as well as our reliance upon it (Henrich, &lt;span&gt;2017&lt;/span&gt;). Such technological advances can be seen both through the methods we use when collecting data in the field and the ones we use to analyse the product of our research. The latter can be as diverse as vocal or urine samples, records of distances or interactions between individuals, or choices in a field experiment, and the field is aided greatly by a constant effort in developing new technologies to analyse them.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Our Joint Special Feature in &lt;i&gt;Methods in Ecology and Evolution&lt;/i&gt; and the &lt;i&gt;Journal of Animal Ecology&lt;/i&gt; aims to showcase contemporary methods for studying sociality in the wild, from the renewed use of old methods (such as tagging or field experiments) to an increasing use of technology-assisted paradigms as well as increasingly large-scale laboratory methods. Overall, the present Feature demonstrates a current drive to introduce holistic approaches for making sense of the social world. Such approaches also require the use of combined integrative and statistical methods. Nevertheless, beyond introducing such methods by leading researchers in the field, we also believe this Special Feature is important in raising the ethical issues that can surround the use of these innovative methods in the field, and as such, will need to be taken into account in a human world that is increasingly aware of its impact on its surrounding wildlife.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Implementing field experiments has a long history in all sorts of taxa, and they have been used to study social behaviour in wild animals for several decades in some cases (Seyfarth et al., &lt;span&gt;1980&lt;/span&gt;). Yet, recent years have allowed the development of increasingly automated methods which minimize interaction between researchers and their study species. For example, in this Special Feature, Wild et al. (&lt;span&gt;2022&lt;/span&gt;) show a fully automated two-option foraging device, which can adapt itself to the subject, in this case great tits &lt;i&gt;Parus major&lt;/i&gt;. They also stress that a fundamental issue in current research is its cost, and therefore advocate for and demonstrat","PeriodicalId":208,"journal":{"name":"Methods in Ecology and Evolution","volume":"14 8","pages":"1838-1841"},"PeriodicalIF":6.6,"publicationDate":"2023-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/2041-210X.14178","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"6067498","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
