Understanding animals through their movement

该项目旨在开发一套分析方法，通过动物的运动模式来了解动物的行为。动物的运动模式编码了有关其行为状态的详细信息。收集和分析动物运动轨迹可以为我们提供全新的行为见解。生物记录技术的最新发展提供了大量关于自由放养动物的丰富数据。该项目将开发一套分析技术，通过从实验室中的小规模实验到跟踪国际空间站上的动物轨迹等各种方法来查询这些数据。这些发现将通过改变我们管理和保护动物种群的能力，为更广泛的社区带来重大利益。

This project aims to develop a suite of analytical methods to understand animals' behaviour through their movement patterns. Animal movement patterns encode detailed information about their behavioural state. Collecting and analysing animal movement trajectories can provide us with completely new insights to behaviour. Recent developments in bio-logging technologies have provided an incredible amount of rich data on free-ranging animals. This project will develop a suite of analytical techniques to interrogate this data through a combination of approaches, from fine scale experiments in the laboratory to tracking animal trajectories from the International Space Station. The findings will deliver major benefits to the broader community by transforming our ability to manage and conserve animal stocks.
