  2. Movement is tightly linked with the environment – along the path, and the path not taken

  3. What to do with track data? www.movebank.org

  4. MoveMine track analysis tools

  5. Track annotation Areal (home-range) annotation Env-DATA– Environmental Data Automated Track Annotation system in MoveBank Dodge et al 2013, Movement Ecology, 1:3

  6. Derived Variables Thermal uplift Orographic uplift

  7. Peruvian Coast Around Galapagos What can annotated tracks tell us about what the animals are doing? Available Used Climatology surface Distribution of ocean productivity in albatross tracks • Resource-selection and niche analysis

  8. Individual-based movement models What can annotated tracks tell us about what the animals are doing? Modelled Observed Bartlam-Brooks et al 2013, Journal of Geophysical Research-Biogeosciences, 118:1427–1437 Bohrer et al 2014, Movement Ecology 2:2 (Elephants)

  9. Going global - Trans-American migration of Turkey Vulture Bohrer et al. 2012 Ecology Letters 15:96-103 Dodge et al. 2014 Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B (in press)

  10. Variation in migration speed between individuals and populationsis explained by wind and temperature

  11. Environmental drivers of movement – wind support in waterfowl Facilitate global scale collaborations BrantaLeucopsis Safi et al 2013, Movement Ecology, 1:4

  12. USGS project G14AC00091 Operational implementation – FWS-USGS condor population management

  13. Symposium for Animal Movement and the EnvironmentRaleigh NC, May 5-7

  14. Migration direction Adult storks better utilize uplift Juveniles + Adults o Implementation by users is taking off Migration direction Energy expenditure in flight Thermal uplift Latitude Latitude Shay Rotics et al 2014, Symposium for Animal Movement and the Environment

  15. The End Questions? NASA Biodiversity, project #NNX11AP61G
