Ungulates MOVing across heterogeneous landscapes : identifying behavioural processes linking global change to spatially- explicIT demographic performance and management

Summary : (http://www.agence-nationale-recherche.fr/Project-ANR-16-CE02-0010)

The responses of animal populations to global change are mediated by proximate behavioral processes that determine the energy budget and, ultimately, the demographic performance of individuals. Animal movement is currently considered as a key behavior for understanding, and so predicting, the responses of animals (such as shifts in spatial distribution) to global change. The plasticity of movement behavior within and among individuals is hence critical to the potential for both adaptive and non-adaptive responses of animal populations to environmental variability and change. Mov-It aims to be among the first empirical based studies (7 sites, 5 species, >1000 individuals marked with GPS-collars, 100 individuals with biologgers) to evaluate, at both intra- and inter-specific levels, how individual behavioral heterogeneity impacts movement energetics, habitat selection, and demographic responses to global change.
