Term | Definition | References |
|---|---|---|
Habitat | The resources and conditions present in an area that produce occupancy often associated with bottom habitat in marine fish. | Krausman and Morrison 201685 |
Eco-evolutionary movement strategy | The measurable movement attributes and traits, and the ultimate and proximate cues that drive them, for a given species or population. | Riotte-Lampert & Matthiopoulos, 20202 |
Life cycle space use | The habitats used throughout a species’ life cycle, which may differ with life stage, and with adult foraging, overwintering, and breeding. The degree of habitat overlap and/or distance between disparate habitats is species-specific. | This study |
Fate assignment | The use of movement patterns and recapture data to assign each tagged fish as either dead (predation, capture removal, or unknown cause) or alive (in the study area or emigrated). | Villegas-Rios et al. 202035 |
Inference power | The accuracy with which detection data reflects a species’ movements due to array size, density, and duration of deployment; number and size of fish tracked; overlap between area monitored and daily space use; and the ability to correctly assign fate. | This study |
Adult movement type | The degree and consistency of space used at the annual scale, ranging from highly resident to highly migratory or nomadic. | Lowerre-Barbieri et al. 20211 |
Movement metric | Site fidelity (or residence), space use, and dispersal | |
Ontogenetic habitat shift | Shifts in habitat selection over the course of the life cycle due to changes in foraging abilities, reproductive state, and/or vulnerability to predation associated with size or age. | Werner and Gilliam 19843; Fokkema et al., 202087; Lowerre-Barbieri et al.1 |
Home range | The area traversed by the individual in food gathering, mating, and caring for the young. | Burt 194388 |
Site fidelity | Measures how long an individual remains within a defined space for a predefined time period, typically a year, with residency typically defined as how long it takes for 50% of tagged fish to leave the predefined area. | Grove-Williams & Szedlmayer 202017 |
Space use | The proportion of detections that fall within a given level or isopleth, typically the 50% area and 95% area and the time period associated with these, typically daily or study duration. | Kraft et al. 202349, this study |
Dispersal | Refers to any movement of individuals from a source location (e.g. birth or breeding site) to another site where establishment and reproduction may occur |
