UVictoria Maud Menten Institute /Mathematical and Statistical Biology Seminar: William Fagan

This seminar will focus on aspects of the ecology of animal home ranges in which empirically derived movement tracks are viewed as realizations of continuous time, continuous space stochastic processes. Topics will include the distinctions between occurrence distributions and range distributions, data thresholds for effective statistical estimation, estimation of behavioral change points following animals’ release from captivity, population-level inference, and the estimation of population ranges.
