Conflicts hinder research into animal movements - Ambio Satellite tracking has revolutionized our understanding of animal migration, yet its reliability increasingly depends on the geopolitical stability of the regions frequented by wildlife. Here, we show...

News out in @ambio-journal.bsky.social 📡🦅

We show how geopolitical conflicts can disrupt signals, generating erratic GPS tracks in #AnimalMovement studies

Using migratory gulls, we highlight how these biases can affect research in #Ecology and #OneHealth 👇

It is time to say Goodbye 🥺 Today is the last day of #Animove at #OTS #LaSelva in Costa Rica. It was two weeks of fun in the jungle with many motivated #animalmovement researchers learning different methods for analysing their data. Stay in touch!

🎉 22 October 18:30🎉 Move BON Launch Event

The coordinating parties of Move BON invite the #animalmovement and #conservationtech communities to the Grand Ballroom to celebrate the official launch of Move BON!

We are hiring a new PhD candidate 🎉as part of the No-REGRETS (NOrth Sea Renewable Energy: Gaining the Required Ecological Knowledge for the TranSition) consortium. If you are excited too, have what we are looking for and interested in joining us please apply. #ornithology #animalmovement

Animating your data can be really insightful!

After a few minutes flying with the rogue pigeon 39 (called him Dandy, he loved chilling in Windsor), no.46 returned to the flightpath of the flock, despite lagging behind the others.

Delighted to share our new review paper on "Understanding and predicting animal movements and distributions in the Anthropocene" 🎉🐾🦌🐧🦅🌍

Despite the prevalence of bird flock research, many questions remain as to what drives changes in the flight behaviour of cluster flocks.
@sjportugal.bsky.social and I addressed some of these using flights of homing pigeons.

Highly interesting #phd defence by @schwalb-willmann.de how we can use #animalmovement data in #EarthObservation research and create new innovative #landscape information

Elephants choose their paths carefully to conserve energy Elephants choose smooth, food-rich paths to save energy. Their movement depends on terrain, speed, and water access.

What an incredible opportunity to learn about #AnimalMovement data analysis with Johannes and Brian this week — now in its 4th edition! Excited to see participants explore movement data in R 🚀

I have created a Movement Ecology feed here on Bluesky! 🌍🐾 bsky.app/profile/did:...

Currently, it tracks posts with the #movementecology, #animalmovement, #animalmigration, and #wildlifetracking tags from contributors.

Miriam Lerma: Animal tracking A curated collection of my blog posts focused on animal tracking analysis.

There are numerous tools available for analyzing tracking data, here I share a curated collection of my blog entries that focus specifically on movement analysis.
I’ve also included a brief list of related papers.

This is the first paper that I publish with undergrads from a statistical consulting & collaboration course I teach at University of Toronto.

With TA help, they did an amazing job fitting hidden Markov models and learning about Goliath Grouper. Our undergrads are top notch 👌🏽 #AnimalMovement 🧪

And they’re off! Marine predator chaos over the Patagonian Shelf...and some fur seal pups going rogue and doing their own thing - venturing out towards South Georgia 🦭🐧

Such an amazing dataset to be working with! 📊👏

Dans le cadre d’un projet sur le comportement des Vautours Fauve dans les Grands Causses, 3 étudiants Rainet’ @MoreauTanguy2, @FaureNad et @SaraGomez1326 sont partis sur le terrain ce weekend avec Olivier Duriez, à la recherche des individus suivies par #GPS ! #AnimalMovement
