动物的行为很大程度上受到周围环境的影响。随着定位和传感器技术的进步，现在可以以以前看不见的空间和时间粒度捕获动物位置的数据以及它们周围的环境信息。因此，在过去几年中，对开发用于运动分析的计算方法的研究兴趣显著增加。然而，运动数据和环境变量之间的联系在现有的探索工具中被很大程度上忽视了，在以前的动物运动行为研究中也是如此。MoveBank环境数据注释项目扩展了动物跟踪数据的开放门户，并通过自动访问环境变量以及有效的计算方法来研究和处理运动和环境数据来丰富它。其目的是促进调查和发展的时空模式的动物运动在不断变化的环境中的新的理解。这些结果将有助于更好地建模，理解并最终预测动物对全球变化的行为变化。
The behavior of animals is very much influenced by their surrounding environment. With the advances in positioning and sensor technologies, it is now possible to capture data of animal locations as well as their surrounding environmental information, at previously unseen spatial and temporal granularities. As a consequence, research interest in developing computational methods for the analysis of movement has increased significantly over the past few years. Yet, the link between movement data and the environmental variables has been largely ignored in existing exploratory tools, as well as in previous studies of movement behavior of animals. The MoveBank environmental data annotation project expands an open portal of animal tracking data and enriches it with automated access to environmental variables, as well as effective computational methods to study and process movement and environment data. The aim is to facilitate the investigation and develop a new understanding of spatiotemporal patterns of animal movement in response to a changing environment. The outcomes will contribute to a better modeling, understanding, and ultimately prediction of the behavioral changes of animals in response to global change.
