Animal movement is a multifaceted process that occurs for multiple reasons with powerful consequences for food web and ecosystem dynamics. New paradigms and technical innovations have recently pervaded the field, providing increasingly powerful means …
1. Geolocating aquatic animals with acoustic tags has been ongoing for decades, relying on the detection of acoustic signals at multiple receivers with known positions to calculate a 2D or 3D position, and ultimately recreate the path of an aquatic …
The Atlantic goliath grouper (_Epinephelus itajara_) is the largest grouper species in the Atlantic and exhibits high site fidelity and limited range of movement. By 1990, the goliath grouper population in US waters had declined approximately 95% …
1. Fine-scale tracking with passive acoustic telemetry can yield great insights into the movement ecology of aquatic animals. To predict fine-scale positions of tagged animals in continuous space from spatially-discrete detection data, state-space …
Movement ecology is increasingly relying on experimental approaches and hypothesis testing to reveal how, when, where, why, and which animals move. Movement of megafauna is inherently interesting but many of the fundamental questions of movement …
Fish swimming performance is strongly influenced by flow hydrodynamics, but little is known about the relation between fine‐scale fish movements and hydrodynamics based on in‐situ investigations. In the presented study, we validated the …
Repeat spawners constitute an important component of Atlantic salmon populations, but survival of post-spawning individuals (kelts) are often compromised by anthropogenic structures such as hydropower plants (HPPs). Potential effects of HPPs include …
Anthropogenic structures in rivers are major threats for fish migration and effective mitigation is imperative given the worldwide expansion of such structures. Fish behaviour is strongly influenced by hydrodynamics, but little is known on the relation …
There is no generic solution to establish safe passage of downstream‐migrating fish passed hydropower facilities, and mitigation measures are species and site specific. Development of solutions is thus often based on “trial and error,” and …
