Learn how to analyse animal tracking data in our live online course *Movement Ecology (the Analysis of Movement Data) (MOVE09)*. https://prstats.org/course/movement-ecology-the-analysis-of-movement-data-move09/ Modern ecological research increasingly relies on movement datasets collected from technologies such as GPS tags, biologgers, satellite telemetry, and other tracking devices. This course provides a structured introduction to the *movement ecology framework* and practical methods for analysing movement data using R. Participants will learn how to explore movement trajectories, quantify spatial behaviour, and investigate how animals interact with their environment. *The course covers:* - Core concepts in movement ecology and tracking technologies - Preparing and exploring movement datasets - Home-range estimation and spatial movement metrics - Interaction metrics and behavioural interpretation - Resource selection and step-selection modelling - Reproducible workflows for analysing movement data in R Through practical exercises and real examples, participants will gain hands-on experience analysing movement trajectories and interpreting ecological patterns from tracking data. Delivered live online, the course allows direct interaction with the instructor, opportunities to ask questions, and discussion of real research applications. All participants receive course materials, example code, and post-course support. *Course details* Dates: 11?15 May 2026 Duration: 5 days (approximately 8 hours per day) Format: Live online Fee: ?480 This course is suitable for postgraduate students, researchers, ecological consultants, and environmental professionals working with animal tracking or spatial movement data.
