Develop advanced analytical skills for marine mammal tracking and telemetry 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-mo... Modern marine mammal research increasingly relies on movement datasets from satellite tags, biologgers, GPS devices, and acoustic telemetry. This course provides practical training in analysing animal movement data using the *movement ecology framework*, combining ecological theory with hands-on analysis in R. Participants will learn how to extract ecological insights from tracking data, quantify spatial behaviour, and model interactions between animals and their environment. *Applications for marine mammal research include:* - Analysing satellite telemetry and biologging datasets - Estimating home ranges and habitat use - Modelling movement responses to environmental drivers - Quantifying behavioural states and movement patterns - Understanding interactions among individuals or populations *The course covers:* - Core concepts in movement ecology and tracking technologies - Data preparation and exploration for movement datasets - Home-range estimation and spatial movement metrics - Interaction metrics and behavioural interpretation - Resource selection and step-selection modelling - Reproducible movement analysis workflows in R Participants will work through practical examples and gain hands-on experience analysing movement trajectories using widely used tools for ecological movement analysis. The analytical approaches are broadly applicable across taxa and tracking technologies. Delivered live online, the course offers direct interaction with the instructor, opportunities to ask questions about your own datasets, and structured guidance through applied examples. 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, and professionals working in marine mammal ecology, conservation, and telemetry studies who want to analyse movement data using robust statistical and spatial methods.
