Comment: Needs cleanup per WP:MOS, and more references for denoting notability. The Herald (Benison) (talk) 10:35, 8 May 2024 (UTC)
Movement ecology is a sub discipline of ecology that focuses on studying the movement behavior of individuals and the coordinated movement of groups of individuals. It seeks to understand the effects of both external environmental factors (e.g.: weather, landscape topography, and resource distributions; presence of conspecific and heterospecific predators, competitors, and symbionts) and internal individual-state factors (e.g., hunger, thirst, physiology, and state-of-mind drivers) on when, where and why individuals move to known and unknown places. Although animal movement studies can be traced back to Aristotle (4th century B.C.), and even Jeremiah who described the temporal consistency of bird migratory patterns in the 7th century B.C., a unifying paradigm for studying the movement of organisms was only formulated around 2007.[1].

Researchers in the field of movement ecology use various technologies, including Global Positioning Systems (GPS), reverse GPS tracking[2], tri-axial accelerometer [3][4] and physiological (e.g. temperature[5]) data retrieved from sensors place on individuals remote sensing, and mathematical modeling, to monitor and analyze the movement tracks of individuals. A review of recent trends in movement ecology[6] included the following graphic on the history of movement ecology research publications, highlighting critical events in this history.
By studying movement ecology, scientists can gain insights into the spatial ecology of organisms, the impacts of habitat fragmentation[7] and climate change on animal movements, and the conservation of migratory species[8].
