Linking Movement Ecology to Conservation Biology. 330 $aThis book brings a unique perspective to animal movement studies because all studies come from African tropical environments where the great diversity, either biological and structurally (trees, shrubs, vines, epiphytes), present the animals with several options to fulfil their basic needs. These conditions have forced the evolution of unique movement patterns and ecological strategies. The book follows on our previous book ?Movement Ecology of Neotropical Forest Mammals? but focuses on tropical African forests. Movement is an essential process in the life of all organisms. Animals move because they are looking for primary needs such as food, water, cover, mating and to avoid predators. Understanding the causes and consequences of animal movement is not an easy task for behavioural ecologists. Many animals are shy, move in secretive ways and are very sensible to human presence, therefore, studying the movements of mammals in tropical environments presents logistical and methodologicalchallenges. However, researchers have recently started to be solved these challenges and exciting new information is emerging. In this book we are compiling a set of extraordinary studies where researchers have used new technology and the strongest methodological approaches to understand movement patterns in wild African forest mammals. This second book should inspire early career researchers to investigate wild mammal´s movements in some of the most amazing forest in the world: African tropical forests. . 606 $aEcology 606 $aVertebrates 606 $aAnimal behavior 606 $aPopulation biology 606 $aEcology 606 $aVertebrate Zoology 606 $aBehavioral Ecology 606 $aPopulation Dynamics 615 0$aEcology. 615 0$aVertebrates. 615 0$aAnimal behavior. 615 0$aPopulation biology. 615 14$aEcology. 615 24$aVertebrate Zoology. 615 24$aBehavioral Ecology. 615 24$aPopulation Dynamics. 676 $a591.52 676 $a591.568096 702 $aReyna-Hurtado$b Rafael 702 $aChapman$b Colin A. 702 $aMelletti$b Mario 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 912 $a9910717414403321 996 $aMovement Ecology of Afrotropical Forest Mammals$93294429 997 $aUNINA
