Exploiting powerful techniques from physics and mathematics, this
book studies animal movement in ecology, with a focus on epidemic
spread. Pulmonary syndrome is not only feared in epidemics of
recent times, such as COVID-19, but is also characteristic of
epidemics studied earlier such as Hantavirus. The Hantavirus is one
of the book's central topics. Correlations between epidemic
outbreaks and precipitation events like El Nino are analyzed and
spatial reservoirs of infection in off-period of the epidemic,
known as refugia, are studied. Predicted traveling waves of
infection are successfully compared to field observations.
Territoriality in scent-marking animals is presented, with
parallels drawn with the theory of melting. The flocking and
herding of birds and mammals are described in terms of collective
excitations. For scientists interested in movement ecology and
epidemic spread, this book provides effective solutions to
long-standing problems.
