The aim of this PhD project is to examine the differences in movement behaviour between mammal species, how human pressures impact animal movement and the consequences thereof for animal populations. This will involve the analysis of empirical animal movement data, remote sensing data and species traits in order to explore mammal movement patterns from individuals to species. Understanding this is important for building a solid knowledge foundation of how humans impact animal behaviour, and also provides vital information for examining the consequences of these impacts for animal populations and ecosystems.
