Animal movement behavior

I participated in two projects investigating corss-species patterns of animal movements, supporting data analysis and visualization.

• Altitudinal migration of birds: Using eBird data to characterize seasonal elevational movement of resident birds in Taiwan, we found that the majority of species tend to shift elevation across seasons, likely driven by thermal tolerance and food availability (Tsai et al. 2021).
• Route navigation of carnivores: Analyzing GPS tracking data of 1,000+ individuals across 34 species, we found distinct patterns between canids and felids in their spatial strategies in navigating home range (Fagan et al. 2025).
