The workshop  Moving2Gather will take place at  Montpellier (grande salle de réunion du Centre Ecologie Fonctionnelle et Evolutive) from December 18th to 20th 2017. This meeting aims at gathering ecologist, modelers and numerical analysts around the tools dedicated to movement ecology.

We are happy to welcome Roland Langrock (university -  Bielefeld, Germany), Jason Matthiopoulos (University  - Glasgow, Great Britain), Vincent Miele (Biométrie et Biologie Évolutive - Lyon).

Registration (free but compulsory) before November 15th
and abstract submission before October, 31rst.

Movement analysis has developed considerably in recent years through various networks and projects. A growing fluxes of tracking individual observations either in marine or in terrestrial systems for various species including humans (e.g. fisherman, picker) have been made possible through the broad development of electronic devices (e.g. Argos, GPS). This scientific dynamism has led to the organisation of the first Moving2Gather workshop in December 2015 (https://moving2gather.sciencesconf.org/), bringing together ecologists, modellers, statisticians, probablilits and numerists to exchange on tools dedicated to movement analysis.  

This second Moving2Gather worshop will address the following objectives:

• Increasing the interactions between research networks developing or using statistical tools dedicated to the analysis of trajectories;
• Sharing the expertises and drawing up a state of art in trajectories modelling (Hidden Markov models, semi-hidden Markov models, Change point detection, random walks, Stochastic Differential Equations, etc.);
• Listing the limits of current approaches (models and data acquisition) and future methodological developments required to
• perform models validation
• move from discret to continuous approaches
• upscale analyses from individual-based to population-based approaches (within a group, between preys and predators, attraction/avoidance, etc.)
