Biomechanics of predator–prey arms race in lion, zebra, cheetah and impala (2018)
Journal Article
Wilson, A. M., Hubel, T. Y., Wilshin, S. D., Lowe, J. C., Lorenc, M., Dewhirst, O. P., …West, T. G. (2018). Biomechanics of predator–prey arms race in lion, zebra, cheetah and impala. Nature, 554(7691), 183+. https://doi.org/10.1038/nature25479

The fastest and most manoeuvrable terrestrial animals are found in savannah habitats, where predators chase and capture running prey. Hunt outcome and success rate are critical to survival, so both predator and prey should evolve to be faster and/or...

Dynamics of direct inter-pack encounters in endangered African wild dogs (2017)
Journal Article
Jordan, N. R., Buse, C., Wilson, A. M., Golabek, K. A., Apps, P. J., Lowe, J. C., …McNutt, J. W. (2017). Dynamics of direct inter-pack encounters in endangered African wild dogs. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00265-017-2338-9

Aggressive encounters may have important life history consequences due to the potential for injury and death, disease transmission, dispersal opportunities or exclusion from key areas of the home range. Despite this, little is known of their detailed... Read More about Dynamics of direct inter-pack encounters in endangered African wild dogs.

Suite of simple metrics reveals common movement syndromes across vertebrate taxa (2017)
Journal Article
Abrahms, B., Seidel, D. P., Dougherty, E., Hazen, E. L., Bograd, S. J., Wilson, A. M., …Getz, W. M. (2017). Suite of simple metrics reveals common movement syndromes across vertebrate taxa. Movement Ecology, 5(12), https://doi.org/10.1186/s40462-017-0104-2

ecause empirical studies of animal movement are most-often site- and species-specific, we lack understanding of the level of consistency in movement patterns across diverse taxa, as well as a framework for quantitatively classifying movement patterns...

Energy cost and return for hunting in African wild dogs and Cheetahs (2016)
Journal Article

African wild dogs (Lycaon pictus) are reported to hunt with energetically costly long chase distances. We used high-resolution GPS and inertial technology to record 1,119 high-speed chases of all members of a pack of six adult African wild dogs in no...
