The dispersal and movement behaviour of animals has a central role in
modern ecology and is fundamental to many issues in applied ecology. The
challenge of quantifying and understanding the mechanisms of dispersal
is widely acknowledged. The measurement of dispersal and movement of free
ranging animals has been a very difficult task. However, the rapid advancement
of techniques to track animals, especially with regard to miniturasation
and increasing capability at reduced cost, continually extends the limits
of what can be achieved with established methods. These novel tracking
techniques has enabled to measure dispersal of animals that were previously
impossible to measure. This symposium will give a state of the art of
techniques used to monitor and analyse animal movement and dispersal in
the field at different spatial scales.
