Integrated movement models for individual tracking and species distribution data by Frances E. Buderman, Ephraim M. Hanks, Viviana Ruiz‐Gutierrez, Michael Shull, Robert K. Murphy, David A. W. Miller

“…Individual heterogeneity in migration behaviour was modelled for two subpopulations, individuals that make significant northward migrations and those that remained in the southern Rocky Mountain region through the summer. As is the case with most tracking studies, the sample population of individual telemetered birds is not representative of the population and underrepresents the proportion of long‐distance migrants in the population. …”
