A foresight paper in this journal entitled “Towards an integrated science of movement: converging research on animal movement ecology and human mobility science” argued for a better integration of concepts across the divide of animal and human movement, which would lead to the Integrated Science of Movement, but did so from a top-down perspective based on a series of expert workshops. Movement analysis has become an integral part of many disciplines, yet with relatively little overlap. The evaluation by an expert user confirms that our approach supports ecologists in their analysis workflow by helping to identifying interesting stopover locations, environmental conditions or (groups of) individuals with characteristic migratory behavior, and allows therefore to focus on visual data analysis. To evaluate our visual analytics approach, we applied it on a data set of 75 migrating gulls that were tracked over a period of 3 years. In addition, the spatio-temporal properties of the trajectories are visualized by means of a density plot on a geographic map and a calendar view. Statistics of stopover sites and links between them are shown on a zoomable geographic map which allows to interactively explore directed sequences of stopovers from an origin to a destination. It identifies and aggregates stopovers depending on a scale at which the data is visualized. Our approach enables ecologists to explore the spatio-temporal characteristics of such tracks interactively.
Migration is an important and intriguing process in animal ecology, which may be better understood through the study of tracks for individuals in their environmental context. We present a visual analytics approach to explore and analyze movement data as collected by ecologists interested in understanding migration.
