Projects

Movements connect events at different locations. This process takes place at all scales and is important in structuring ecological processes and nutrient fluxes.

Animal movements have been described in different ways, but few studies have linked individual foraging decisions to generic movement patterns. This project aims at understanding animal movements from foraging processes and link these movements to statistics that are commonly used to describe animal movements at landscape and global scale.
