Movement ecology (MOVE02) https://www.prstatistics.com/course/movement-ecology-move02/
This course will be delivered by Prof. Luca Borger, Prof. Rory Wilson, and Dr. Jonathan Potts at Margam Discovery Centre, Wales form the 25th February - 1st March 2019. Course Overview: The course will cover the concepts, technology and software tools that can be used to analyse movement data (from ringing/CMR to VHF/GPS to novel biologging data) in ecology and evolution, covering analysis techniques applicable broadly to most taxa, from micro-organisms to plants and animals. We will cover elementary and advanced analysis and modelling techniques broadly applicable across taxa, highlighting the advantages of a unified Movement Ecology framework. We will provide the necessary bases in ecology (especially behavioural ecology), physics and mathematics/statistics, to be able to identify for any specific research question the most appropriate study species, logging technology (incl. attachment methods), and statistical/mathematical modelling approach. We will specifically address the challenges and opportunities at each of the steps of the proposed ‘question-driven approach’, combining hands-on sessions with new biologging technology with computer-based practicals in R and specialized software for biologging data developed by the SLAM lab at Swansea University. We will also address the challenges of applying the results of the analyses to applied management problems and communicate the findings to non-experts. Sunday 24th Meet at Margam Discovery Centre 18:00 (Download directions PDF). Monday 25th – Classes from 09:00 to 17:00 Module 1: Introduction to Movement Ecology – Theory, followed by hands on experience of deploying and collecting GPS & Biologging data (Daily Diary tags), incl. attachment methods & data quality Module 2: Accelerometers & pressure/depth sensors– quantifying speed, behaviour, individual state & energetics Tuesday 26th – Classes from 09:00 to 17:00 Module 3: Magnetometers – identifying orientation and animal behaviour Module 4: Dead reckoning – reconstructing sub-second animal trajectories Wednesday 27th – Classes from 09:00 to 17:00 Module 5: Movement path analysis I – from steps and turns to movement path segmentation Module 6: Movement path analysis II – the squared displacement method and movement modes (foraging trips, home range, dispersal, migration, nomadism) Thursday 28th – Classes from 09:00 to 17:00 Module 7: Space use analysis – Home range estimation (2D & 3D) and quantification of individual interactions (static and dynamic approaches) Module 8: Modelling animal movements: statistical and mathematical approaches Friday 1st – Classes from 09:00 to 16:00 Module 9: Habitat use and resource selection: from classical models to integrated step selection models Modules 10: Joint modelling of animal movement and behaviour You may also be interested in this course https://www.prstatistics.com/course/aquatic-acoustic-telemetry-data- analysis-atda01/ Email oliverhoo...@prstatistics.com Check out our sister sites, www.PRstatistics.com (Ecology and Life Sciences) www.PRinformatics.com (Bioinformatics and data science) www.PSstatsistics.com (Behaviour and cognition) 1.
