Our Skills.
AniMove is a ground-breaking capacity-building contribution [… ] great opportunities for students to learn about the cutting edge of movement ecology and the important insights which it opens for conservation
Tom Brooks
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.

Recurse package now supports calculating revisits in polygons
The recurse package has a new feature: the ability to examine revisits or residence time in convex polygons, rather than simply specifying a radius. This function came about due to conversations with Lacey Hughey, who I met at an AniMove course. She needed to...
recurse package published in Ecography
The recurse R package by Chloe Bracis, one of our core members, got published in Ecography. From the abstract: "Animals regularly return to locations such as foraging patches, nests, dens, watering holes, or movement corridors, and these revisited locations are often...
open PhD position: animal movement for remote sensing
PhD position animal movement and remote sensing – exploring innovative in-situ data This research project focuses on the analysis of animal movement tracks for deriving new, innovative remote sensing products. Novel methods or a new combination of established methods...
Application deadline for AniMove 2018 at MPI is approaching
The application deadline for our next science school AniMove 2018 at the Max-Planck-Institute in Möggingen, close to Lake Constance, Germany, is approaching. Please apply before end of March if you like to learn about animal movement analysis, its combination with...
new paper on integrating remote sensing into animal movement data
New paper about the technical and theoretical differences between animal movement and remote sensing data and practical solutions to improve their combined use.
rsMove R package update
An update for rsMove is now available on CRAN. rsMove was designed to support movement ecologists in the selection and handling of remote sensing data. This package helps select study sites, guides the choice of satellite data by quantifying the influence of its...
