May 15, 2024 · Ecosystems accumulate connections and resources when they grow, but to stay resilient, they need diversity and the ability to break up connections and form new ones. Movement ecology tries to understand and help keep a balance between the two.

For the purpose of this review, we searched for scientific peer-reviewed papers in English that studied the voluntary movement of animals or humans. In order to highlight relevant trends in the literature, we extracted a large sample of papers studying animal and human movement from the full scientific literature. Very few papers explicitly mention...
The results from WoS included fields such as title, abstract, keyword, authors, and others. We used the refsplitr package in the R software to read the files downloaded from WoS and compile them into one data sheet. Depending on the scope of the paper, it is possible that the tracking devices, software, or statistical methods used are not mention...
We used separate dictionaries to identify which components of the MEF, taxonomic groups, tracking devices, software tools, or statistical methods were used in each paper. A dictionary is composed of concepts and associated words. For the MEF, the concepts of interest were the components of the framework (i.e. internal state, external factors, and m...
The topics covered in the articles were treated as a latent variable, i.e. not directly observed, since articles do not always explicitly enumerate all the topics they cover. We assumed that the abstracts contained all the necessary information about the topics covered, and that an abstract could cover one or more topics. For that reason, we fitted...
Jul 3, 2013 · This emerging transdisciplinary scientific paradigm was termed “movement ecology”, emphasizing the need to understand the movement of living organisms of all kinds in the context of their internal states, traits, constraints, and interactions among themselves and with the environment .

Aug 5, 2013 · Here, we outline how movement ecology can contribute to the broad field of biodiversity research, i.e. the study of processes and patterns of life among and across different scales, from genes to ecosystems, and we propose a conceptual framework linking these hitherto largely separated fields of research.

Abstract. Movement is fundamental to life, shaping population dynamics, biodiver-sity patterns, and ecosystem structure. Recent advances in tracking technol-ogy have enabled fundamental questions about movement to be tackled, lead-ing to the development of the movement ecology framework (MEF), considered a milestone in the eld [33].

Dec 9, 2008 · We demonstrate how the proposed framework aids the study of various taxa and movement types; promotes the formulation of hypotheses about movement; and complements existing biomechanical, cognitive, random, and optimality paradigms of movement.
