This project aims to understand flying-fox movement ecology from individual navigation through to population redistribution. Understanding movement across spatiotemporal scales is a goal of movement research. Grey-headed flying-foxes are mobile, and advances in tracking technology make them ideal for studying movement across scales. This project will determine how flying foxes navigate, and integrate this with drivers of their movement to understand their movement ecology by using methods that integrate experimental manipulation with telemetry, Doppler radar and analytical techniques. This is expected to develop much-needed management strategies that incorporate an understanding of movement.

该项目旨在了解狐蝠从个体导航到种群重新分配的运动生态学。理解跨时空尺度的运动是运动研究的目标。灰头狐蝠是移动的，跟踪技术的进步使它们成为研究跨尺度运动的理想选择。该项目将确定果蝠如何导航，并将其与它们运动的驱动因素相结合，通过使用将实验操纵与遥测、多普勒雷达和分析技术相结合的方法来了解它们的运动生态。预计这将制定急需的管理策略，其中包含对运动的理解。
