Résumé

It is a golden age for animal movement studies and so an opportune time to assess priorities for future work. We assembled 40 experts to identify key questions in this field, focussing on marine megafauna, which include a broad range of birds, mammals, reptiles, and fish. Research on these taxa has both underpinned many of the recent technical developments and led to fundamental discoveries in the field. We show that the questions have broad applicability to other taxa, including terrestrial animals, flying insects, and swimming invertebrates, and, as such, this exercise provides a useful roadmap for targeted deployments and data syntheses that should advance the field of movement ecology.

Funding Information:
G.C.H. conceived the study at a workshop organized by M.T., A.M.M.S., M.M., V.M.E., and C.M.D. G.C.H. assembled the questions with help from L.C.F., M.T., A.M.M.S., and M.M. All authors submitted questions and voted on the assembled questions. G.C.H. wrote the manuscript with W.D.B., Y.R.C., E.L.H., M.M., A.M.M.S., D.W.S., A.T., L.C.F., M.T., P.N.T., and P.T.M. All authors commented on drafts. Workshop funding was granted to M.T., A.M.M.S., and C.M.D. by the UWA Oceans Institute, the Australian Institute of Marine Science, and the Office of Sponsored Research at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST).
