Scientists have developed a new method to simulate the complex movements of animals with exceptional accuracy. The research team set out to solve a long-standing challenge in biology—how to accurately ...

A new study used GPS data to track the movements of 43 species of mammals around the globe before and during the COVID-19 pandemic, revealing that animals were able to move more freely during ...

A multidisciplinary research team recommends combining detailed data on human activities, infrastructure and animal ecosystems into a “dynamic human footprint” framework. The study explores the ...

Researchers have developed new software for exploring and communicating animal movements in the wild. Subscribe to our newsletter for the latest sci-tech news updates. This suite of open-source tools, ...

Young African lions (Panthera leo) on the road in Hluhluwe National Park, South Africa. When they leave their mothers, young male lions have to disperse to find new territories. To do this, they ...

Paul McGreevy has received funding from the Australian Research Council and RSPCA Australia. The Internet of Animals is a clever, tempting book title and author Martin Wikelski draws us in with the ...

Researchers questioned if coordinated group movements by animals moving through a fluid could reduce the energy cost of locomotion. By combining biomechanics and bioenergetics the researchers found ...

Computer-modeled body movements of a simulated worm (top) and a real worm (bottom). The graphs show body movement patterns over time for both worms (left). On the right, moving images show how closely ...
