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

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.

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 one of them

Luckily they provide all 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

For #connectivity and #movementecology folks, updated code & improved demo scripts for fitcorridor is now up at https://github.com/tristannunez/fitcorridor. The fitcorridor approach fits cost distance models directly to movement tracks to predict corridors, without using selection functions. https://twitter.com/TNunezEcol/status/1572316351565561861

Many thanks to @signer_j @bsmity13 and all attendees of this second edition of the "Analysis of Animal Movement Data in R" course.

Movements of Yellow-legged gulls (Larus michahellis) from the Ivars breeding colony in Lleida. Study conducted by @ICMCSIC @ctforestal @GBiC_CTF @JNavarroBernabe #LLeidaGulls #ruralgulls #movementecology #habitatuse @EspaisPonent

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 )

Happy to announce that Lyndon Kearsley, a BlueGreen Labs associate, received the "Wim Dings" award for his #ornithology contributions resulting in a recent paper: "The aeroecology of atmospheric convergence zones: the case of pallid swifts".

The prize, in recognition of the field ornithologist Wim Dings (1927-2012), is awarded to early career or amateur ornithologists in Belgium or The Netherlands

Thought it was about time I got round to doing my #introduction!

I’m a Post Doc at DICE Uni of Kent, UK. Currently working on #CapacityBuilding for TRADE Hub (a global #SustainableTrade project) and global #ProtectedArea network research particularly wrt 30x30.

Previously worked on #pangolins, #IllegalWildlifeTrade, #AfricanWildDogs, #MovementEcology and (of course) #cheetahs

Caught and tagged four babblers this weekend! I catch and tag 1-2 new birds per group every 3 months as I am trying for annual territory use.

The first two males are both from the Picnic group. I thought they were from the GreenYonder group but turns out the were just way out of their normal territory. Next male was actually from GreenYonder (hooray) and the juvenile was from NewPlant. These groups are now good until February.
