Would you like to decipher how animals perceive the world from their movement and activity data collected by tracking devices? I am looking for a postdoctoral researcher to develop approaches for extraction of animal condition from the tracks of wild birds.

I’ve grown wary of using metrics of functional diversity and rarity to guide conservation planning. In this paper I explain why, and discuss three promising approaches for accounting for functionality in the identification of global conservation priorities. (1/7) 🌐
