animal behavior across multiple scales: from individual foraging decisions to population-level …

Parasitic species, which depend directly on host species for their survival, represent a major
regulatory force in ecosystems and a significant component of Earth's biodiversity. Yet the …

Background Because empirical studies of animal movement are most-often site- and
