Animal Ecology

This Unit assesses wildlife behavioral adaptations to environmental and anthropogenic drivers, developing predictive models based on bio-logging and remote sensing data

Mission

Study of terrestrial mammal communities at different spatio-temporal scales (from regional alpine to global), analyzing species distribution dynamics with respect to climatic and anthropogenic changes; ecological and trophic relationships (e.g. prey-predator/host-parasite); behavioral adaptations to environmental gradients (e.g. movement continuum); eco-evolutionary processes underpinning ecosystem dynamics (e.g. cognitive processes, memory, fitness).

Innovation and methods

A multi-scale methodological approach is implemented, applying bio-logging and remote sensing, and developing quantitative methods for predictive data analysis (see also: Bio-logging Platform)

Facilities

Bio-logging

We promote the development of advanced bio-logging and remote sensing devices for studying animal ecology (e.g. GPS sensors for radio-telemetry or proximity, camera-traps), data management and analysis, and the customization of solutions for several applicative scenarios.
