Grid-cell method (GCM), adaptive local convex hull (a-LoCoH), adaptive time local convex hull (T-LoCoH) and biased random bridges (BRB). Simulation 1 simulated low fix rate (every 4 hours) and Simulation 2 simulated fix failures. (S6 Table for core range model results)

a,b: Pair-wise results from Tukey test; results significantly different from another (p<0.05) are indicated by a different letter, those with the same letter showed no significant difference

*Chi-square values for GLMM likelihood ratio test: for all tests, df = 11 and p <0.001.
