🚀 movetrack wraps a hidden Markov model to reconstruct flight paths of small flying animals (like 🐦 songbirds & 🦇 bats) from radio-telemetry data like Motus.

✅ GPS-validated
✅ No advanced math needed

Track the untrackable.

#Fish in schools have an easier time swimming in rough waters
Schooling fish expend less #energy in turbulent water compared to solitary swimmers

TIL that #MoveApps https://www.moveapps.org have adopted @movingpandas TrajectoryCollections as their #Python default IO 😍 https://docs.moveapps.org/#/create_py_app

It's kind of similar to #QGIS Model Designer but in the browser and specializing in #MovementEcology

After over a year and a half of ridiculous hoops to jump through, I finally installed my #Motus tower! Please clap. 😅

@anemoi There is also a very nice animation in the related paper https://polarresearch.net/index.php/polar/article/view/3512 #movementecology

With these new methods, we can estimate the wing area of thousands of bird specimens that already have wingspan information in research collections, including rare and extinct species, benefiting studies of #birdflight, #movementecology, and #dispersal.

Been watching the bats tonight 🦇🦇🦇

Reminds me to check how the #moveapps project is progressing

Every once in a while, I stumble over a paper that has really nice figures, that make me curious to learn how they were created

Fiona Lippert et al.'s "Learning to predict #spatiotemporal #movement dynamics from weather radar networks" is definitely one of them

Luckily they provide their plotting code at https://github.com/FionaLippert/FluxRGNN/blob/v.1.1.1/notebooks/radar_case_study.ipynb for all of us to learn from

"The #GPScollar’s velocity transducer collected the moving speed information, and we used #MovingPandas (...) a #Python package for #MovementDataAnalysis, to obtain the daily #MovingDistance and #HomeRange

New #MovementEcology paper providing a review of the different methods to investigate residency and space use using acoustic telemetry data
(with an illustrative example to compare the outputs of the different analytical tools)

The folks at AniMove/Max Planck Institute of Animal Behavior/University of Konstanz have provided this fantastic, free resource for anyone interested in #movementecology or animal #spatialecology.

Learn about working with movement data, analyzing behavior through movement patterns, recursion, path segmentation, remote sensing, and estimating occurrence and range distribution (autocorrelated home range estimation).

First impression of https://www.moveapps.org (currently in public beta):

Really nice #MovementData processing workflow builder. It's pretty intuitive to start with one of the existing public workflows and apply it to #MoveBank datasets.

A bit like #QGIS model builder in the cloud with some nice extra features.

Recently, I've been talking with the people at #MoveApps https://www.moveapps.org/

Let's just say “Based on community demands and as part of ongoing projects, Python will be integrated next" (quote: https://movementecologyjournal.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s40462-022-00327-4 )

Sorry to be missing the movement themed @ASAB meeting next week. Anyone on here going? Will you be sharing updates here, on Twitter or both?
