MESS summer school Switzerland
Movement Ecology Summer School – August 2017 the 2017 Movement Ecology Summer School (MESS) is organised through the Life Science Zurich Graduate School, PhD Ecology Program. The MESS will be held in Faido (Ticino, Switzerland) during 27.8 – 1.9.2017. The course builds on the expertise and positive feed-backs of the past summer schools. For this year too, we were able to secure the participation of leading scientists in the field of movement ecology and remote sensing: Dr. Gabriela Schaepman-Strub (Zurich University) Prof. John Fieberg (University of Minnesota) Prof. Luca Börger (Swansea University)…

BLS6 in Germany Like the five successful symposia before, the 6th International Bio-logging Symposium aims to attract a wide range of researchers who use animal-attached electronic devices to study aquatic, terrestrial and aerial species, and their habitats. The term 'bio-logging' is interpreted broadly, encompassing not only logger-based technologies but also cutting-edge telemetry applications, as well as innovative systems using passive tags. Similarly, the scientific scope of BLS6 is broad, encompassing themes that are defined by the following four biological topics: -…

Ecology of Animal Migration 2017 from the webpage: International PhD Course, October 16th - 27th Animals move across different spatial and temporal scales either as part of their daily life or as part of seasonal migrations to exploit resources in the environment. Well known examples are the global scale seasonal migrations in birds, sea turtles, fish and mammals, such as whales and wildebeests. Also movements at smaller scales occur, such as the vertical movements in plankton, the dispersal in soil…

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…

Short course on analyzing animal tracking data by Roland Kays Description Track annotation, visualization & analysis using Movebank and R. This is an NSF funded workshop on using Movebank and the Env-DATA Track Annotation Service to analyze animal tracking data. It is intended for graduate students or other professionals interested in relating animal tracking data to data about the environment they are moving through. Agenda Items: 1 Movebank basics. 2 How to use Env-DATA to annotate animal tracks and simulated…
