• Satellite tracking large numbers of individuals to infer population level dispersal and core areas for the protection of an endangered species (2013, background): “Many animal populations invest in long-distance migration to reduce foraging competition when food resources are scarce at breeding sites (e.g. Greenwood, 1980; Alerstam et al., 2003; Fryxell et al., 2004).”
• Landscape scale, heterogeneity, and the viability of Serengeti grazers (2005, methodology): “Almost all of the parameters used in these models have been estimated experimentally or from data on the spatial distribution of gazelles in Serengeti (McNaughton 1985; Wilmshurst et al. 1999; Fryxell et al. 2004 ).”
• Elephant seasonal vegetation preferences across dry and wet savannas (2009, background): “In many seasonal savanna ecosystems, the phenology of vegetation is critical towards predicting use by herbivores ( Fryxell et al., 2004 ).”
• Global decline in aggregated migrations of large terrestrial mammals (2009, unknown): “0 (Hack et al. 2002)* 1000s - South Africa’s Karoo (Skinner 1993) Extinct (Hack et al. 2002)* ~200 (Campbell & Borner 1995*, Fryxell et al. 2004, 2005) ~160 calculated from Sinclair & NortonGriffiths (1979) (Serengeti, Tanzania)* ~150000 (East 1988)*, ~350000 (Campbell & Borner 1995)*, ~250000 -…”
• Competition, predation, and migration: Individual choice patterns of Serengeti migrants captured by hierarchical models (2014, background): “Similarly, the movement of Thomson’s gazelle (Eudorcas thomsoni ) in the Serengeti is closely related to periodic greening of the energy-rich short-grass sward (Fryxell et al. 2004, 2005).”
