This 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 methodological challenges.
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.
