Very happy to share my first first-author paper, from my undergrad research - https://doi.org/10.1002/ece3.7165! This work was done in close collaboration with @clermont_jeanne, mentor extraordinaire, and under the supervision of Dr. Dominique Berteaux. #FirstGen @Ecol_Evol 1/5

In this study, we used high GPS fix frequencies to evaluate movement rates in eight territorial arctic foxes on Bylot Island (Nunavut, Canada). We also assessed the effects of fix interval and location error on estimated movement rates. (Photo credit: D. Berteaux) 2/5

When estimated with a fix interval of 4 min, daily distances traveled by arctic foxes averaged 51.9 ± 11.7 km and reached 76.5 km. 3/5

Daily distances estimated at fix intervals > 4 min were underestimated as fix intervals increased, because of linear estimation of tortuous movements. Conversely, daily distances estimated at fix intervals as small as 30 s were likely overestimated due to location error. 4/5

A huge thank you to everyone who helped during this long journey - this whole experience was immensely valuable and was my first introduction to movement ecology! Time spent in the field and on R would not have been as fun without you all! 5/5
