Towards a process-based biogeography of reindeer—scaling space, time, and organizational levels of space use

摘要: ABSTRACTDue to increasing anthropogenic habitat alteration, fragmentation, and loss, the analysis of how, when, why animals select particular habitats has become a central issue in ecology biogeography. Animals adapt spatiotemporal variability resources either by tracking these or plasticity behavior cover their needs, leading three important implications: movement, temporal variation, individual trade-offs intra-species variability, all which are directly linked use space animals. Based on GPS-tracking domesticated reindeer southern Norway, authors addressed issues analyzing movement patterns simultaneously across different organizational scales. Emerging information about was found explicitly scaling relations, reflecting matter scale as having functional implications rather than solely being technical question extent resolution. A...
