ABSTRACT: Over the past 2 decades, new technologies in remote sensing of animal locations including GPS technology have opened the door to studying animal movement behaviors over large spatial and short temporal scales. The detailed information on animal movement can inform models that managers use to address wildlife conservation problems. We present how we have developed 2 movement models to the understanding the effect of linear features on wolf-human-elk interactions under different management scenarios.
