What a week! Huge thanks to all lecturers and participants from 19 different countries, who made our workshop on methods for analyzing animal movement (focused on Hidden Markov Models & step‑selection functions) a real success! 🐻🐦🐐🐬
🚨Trade-offs across life history stages and social association types shape winter communal roosting in a long-lived raptor
