Hey #ecology and #wildlife Twitter! I've created a list of R packages (docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d… ) for animal tracking data that will help us develop movement analysis tools for managers. I am seeking additional suggestions (esp re: robustness to data gaps). Please spread around!

Our paper published in Conservation Biology ‘Effects of anthropogenic landscapes on population maintenance of waterbirds’ is now online! You can read it at conbio.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11… Xinhai Li @ Xiaotong Ren @ Micha V. Jackson @ Richard Fuller Tatsuya Amano @ David S. Melville Zhijun Ma

Check out our new work highlighting that maintaining populations of migratory species depends on the conservation of an extensive number of existing key stopover sites along the flyway in Biol Conserv! sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
