Research overview: clouded leopard and small-felid movement in Southeast Asia
OverviewSoutheast Asia harbors a rich diversity of poorly studied forest cats, from clouded leopards to marbled cats, leopard cats, and others, and this overview examines the sparse but growing movement resea…
Research overview: connectivity under climate change for felids
OverviewAs climate change shifts the distribution of suitable habitat, corridors that connect populations today may not align with where animals need to move tomorrow, and this overview examines how researche…
Research overview: range residency versus drift diagnostics
OverviewBefore estimating a home range, one must verify that the animal actually has one, that its movement is range-resident rather than dispersing, migrating, or nomadic. This overview describes diagnostic…
Research overview: space-based wildlife tracking prospects
OverviewInitiatives to receive signals from very small animal tags via satellites or the International Space Station, such as the ICARUS effort, promise to shrink trackers and broaden which species can be fol…
Research overview: synthesis of felid movement ecology and tracking technology
OverviewThis concluding overview synthesizes how the study of felid movement has evolved from sparse VHF triangulation to dense, multi-sensor biologging that captures not only where cats go but what they do a…
