Want to Learn Movement Ecology and the Analysis of Movement Data? Animal tracking data are now central to ecological research, conservation, and wildlife management. This *live online course* provides a thorough, applied introduction to the *analysis of animal movement data in R*, combining ecological theory with hands-on statistical workflows.
You will learn how to move from raw tracking data to robust ecological inference using widely adopted spatial and movement-modelling approaches. The course is designed to help you analyse complex movement datasets with confidence and methodological rigour. ------------------------------ Movement Ecology (the Analysis of Movement Data) <https://prstats.org/course/movement-ecology-the-analysis-of-movement-data-move09/> Learn to analyse animal movement data using spatial methods, home range estimation, interaction metrics and resource or step selection models through hands-on training in R. This course focuses on practical methods for analysing animal movement data, with an emphasis on *reproducible workflows in R* and clear interpretation of results. *Key topics include:* - Preparing and exploring animal tracking and telemetry data - Spatial methods for analysing movement patterns - Home range estimation and utilisation distributions - Interaction, overlap, and proximity metrics - Resource selection functions (RSFs) - Step selection functions (SSFs) and movement-based models *What you will gain:* - A solid understanding of the conceptual foundations of movement ecology - Hands-on experience applying methods to real movement datasets - The ability to choose appropriate analytical approaches for different ecological questions - Skills directly applicable to research, conservation, and wildlife management contexts *Who this course is for:* - Ecologists and wildlife researchers - Conservation practitioners and analysts - Graduate students and early-career scientists working with movement data - Anyone seeking a structured introduction to movement analysis in R ------------------------------ *Learn how animals move, interact with their environment, and use space—using methods grounded in modern movement ecology.* Email [email protected] with any questions -- Oliver Hooker PhD.
