Mechanisms of Movement Patterns: Physiology and Sex Influence Gopher Tortoise (
Article in Ecology and evolution, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
A central topic in spatial ecology is identifying what determines animal movement patterns, including both exogenous and endogenous factors. Given that there are different sex-based selection pressures in mating and reproduction, movement patterns often vary between males and females in predictable manners; males of polygynous species typically move more than females to maximize mating opportunities. In female polygynous animals, selection is generally thought to favor movement patterns with smaller home ranges and high spatial site fidelity. Physiology may also constrain movement patterns in a way that can obscure sex-specific selection. We used GPS loggers and physiological assays to study Gopher Tortoise (
