The Mathematics of Movement: An Interdisciplinary Approach to Mutual Challenges in Animal Ecology and Cell Biology

This volume presents insights into the mathematics of movement with a focus on applications to animal ecology and cell biology.With the advances over the past decades in sensor technologies, from Global Positioning Systems (GPS) and radio-telemetry for the observation of moving animals to imaging technologies for tracking cells in live tissues, vast datasets on the movement and interactions of biological entities are providing exciting opportunities to answer many open questions.At the same time, the data revolution has brought novel challenges in the analysis of observational data with unprecedented resolution in space and time.To overcome these challenges, researchers have largely focused their efforts on specific systems or species, increasing the level of sophistication of the models in particular areas at the expense of the transferability of the know-how to the other disciplines.Commonalities between processes and models of the movement and interactions in animals in ecology, and
