Movement patterns refer to the ways in which organisms move within their environments. This research area involves studying the behavior and physiology of animals as they navigate through their surroundings, including factors such as speed, direction, and frequency of movement. Researchers may use techniques such as tracking devices, observation, and mathematical modeling to study how movement patterns are influenced by factors such as habitat structure, resource availability, and social interactions. Understanding movement patterns can provide insights into species' ecology, evolution, and conservation.
