Movement ecology

Movement ecology investigates the patterns, mechanisms, and consequences of animal movement across landscapes and habitats. It explores how animals navigate their environment, including migration, foraging, and dispersal. We study movement patterns using sophisticated tracking techniques and remote sensing to gain insights into behaviour, population dynamics, and ecosystem connectivity. This interdisciplinary field integrates biology, ecology, and mathematics to understand the drivers of movement, from individual behaviour to population-level movements, contributing to conservation, management, and understanding of ecological processes.
