Abstract

As biodiversity loss continues, targeted conservation interventions are increasingly necessary. Stemming species loss requires mechanistic understanding of the processes governing population dynamics. However, this information is unavailable for most animals because it requires data that are difficult to collect using traditional methods. Advances in animal tracking technology have generated an avalanche of high-resolution observations for a growing list of species around the globe. To date, most research using these data has focused on questions about animal behavior, with less emphasis on population processes. Here, we argue that tracking data are uniquely poised to bring powerful new insights to the urgent, global problem of halting species extinctions by revealing when, where, how, and why populations are changing.

跟踪动物个体可以揭示物种消失的机制。
随着生物多样性的不断丧失,越来越有必要采取有针对性的保护干预措施。遏制物种减少需要从机制上了解种群动态的过程。然而,大多数动物都无法获得这些信息,因为这需要使用传统方法难以收集的数据。动物追踪技术的进步为全球越来越多的物种提供了高分辨率的观测数据。迄今为止,使用这些数据进行的大多数研究都集中在动物行为问题上,而较少关注种群过程。在这里,我们认为追踪数据具有得天独厚的优势,可以通过揭示种群变化的时间、地点、方式和原因,为阻止物种灭绝这一紧迫的全球性问题带来有力的新见解。

期刊介绍: Trends in Ecology & Evolution (TREE) is a comprehensive journal featuring polished, concise, and readable reviews, opinions, and letters in all areas of ecology and evolutionary science. Catering to researchers, lecturers, teachers, field workers, and students, it serves as a valuable source of information. The journal keeps scientists informed about new developments and ideas across the spectrum of ecology and evolutionary biology, spanning from pure to applied and molecular to global perspectives. In the face of global environmental change, Trends in Ecology & Evolution plays a crucial role in covering all significant issues concerning organisms and their environments, making it a major forum for life scientists.
