Towards transient space-use dynamics: re-envisioning models of utilization distribution and their applications
By facilitating transient space-use analysis, our approach could lead to reevaluations of foundational ecological concepts such as home range and territory, replacing static with dynamic definitions that more accurately reflect biological realities. Furthermore, we contend that a growing interest in transient space-use dynamics, spurred by this work, could have transformative effects, stimulating new research avenues in ecology and epidemiology.
