Research overview: Amur tiger dispersal and range recovery
OverviewThis overview synthesizes telemetry research on Amur, or Siberian, tigers in the Russian Far East, where GPS collars have revealed enormous home ranges, long movements through snow-bound boreal forest…
Research overview: Amur tiger movement ecology in the Russian Far East
OverviewThis overview synthesizes decades of telemetry on Amur tigers in the temperate forests of the Russian Far East, where long-term collaring programs have revealed enormous home ranges, seasonal movement…
Research overview: GPS fix-rate versus battery-life trade-offs in big-cat collars
OverviewEvery GPS collar embodies a compromise: more frequent fixes reveal finer movement detail but drain the battery faster, shortening the tracking period. This overview examines how researchers schedule f…
Research overview: fix-success bias under canopy and rugged terrain
OverviewGPS collars do not always acquire a position, and crucially, the probability of failure is not random: dense canopy, steep terrain, and an animal resting in a cave or thicket all suppress fixes. This…
Research overview: protected-area networks and felid movement
OverviewIndividual reserves are rarely large enough to sustain wide-ranging cats on their own, so conservation increasingly relies on networks of protected areas linked by corridors, and this overview examine…
Research overview: stepping-stone habitat for dispersing tigers
OverviewIn India and Southeast Asia, tigers move between protected areas through a matrix of forest fragments, plantations, and human settlements, and this overview examines the role of stepping-stone habitat…
Research overview: tiger natal dispersal distances in India
OverviewThis overview synthesizes telemetry and genetic studies of how young tigers leave their natal territories to establish their own ranges across India's reserve network. Subadult tigers, especially male…
