Courses are recorded to accommodate different time zones. All attendees
will have access to recordings for a further 3 months after the course to
revisit any of the classes.
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) in ecology and evolution. We will cover elementary and advanced
analysis and modelling techniques broadly applicable across taxa, from
micro-organisms to vertebrates, 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 theory with computer-based practicals
in R. We will also address the challenges of applying the results of the
analyses to applied management problems and communicate the findings to
non-experts.
