We offer two weeks of intensive course and project work to learn how to analyze animal movement data and combine it with remote sensing environmental data.

AniMove is a collective of international researchers with extensive experience in the topics of animal movement analysis, remote sensing and/or conservation. It is a two-week intensive training course for studying animal movement in conjunction with environmental parameters derived from remote sensing for conservation application. AniMove is a non-profit training initiative run by volunteers of various organisations such as MPI, JMU, SCBI or BIK-F.

Special Issue: Advanced Remote Sensing in Movement Ecology

Animal movement in space and time, and its link to environmental conditions, are key to ecological and conservation research. With increased availability of high spatial and temporal resolution animal tracking data, we now have an unprecedented level of detail to...

How-to of whale movement visualization by Daniel Palacios

Daniel Palacios, Assistant Professor at the Oregon State University, Marine Mammal Institute and Dept. of Fisheries & Wildlife, visualized his whale movement data using moveVis. In this post he explains the background as well as how he achieved the movement...

new fully rewritten moveVis version

the well-known moveVis R package for visualizing animal movement tracks together and with static or dynamic environmental information has been fully rewritten in order to address the shortcomings of the previous version. Most important changes: actual animation is...

Short Courses

several interesting short courses for animal movement analysis are offered outside the AniMove curriculum and might be interesting for some of you: short course by Roland Kays: http://animove.org/event/short-course-on-analyzing-animal-tracking-data-2019/ short course...

Short course by AniMove alumnis

Two of our former AniMove participants, Andrew Purdon and Tegan Carpenter-King, offer together with colleagues a short course on R and its usage in animal movement and spatial data analysis in Botswana. They are covering a wider range ot topics than AniMove but great...
