Spatial autocorrelation: an overlooked concept in behavioral ecology -- Valcu and Kempenaers 21 (5): 902 -- Behavioral Ecology: "The general aim of this paper is to draw the attention of behavioral ecologists to the phenomenon of SAC. Specifically, we aim 1) to provide examples of spatially autocorrelated variables, indicating that SAC is widespread in variables commonly used in behavioral ecology studies, 2) to show why it is important to take SAC into account, and 3) to point to some tools to explore and model it."
