Understanding how behavioural dynamics, inter-individual variability and individual interactions scale-up to shape the spatial spread dispersal of animal populations is a major challenge in ecology. For biocontrol agents, such as microscopic Trichogramma parasitic wasps, an understanding movement strategies also critical predict pest-suppression performance field. We experimentally studied propagation groups parasitoids their patterns parasitism. investigated whether population...
Abstract Minute insects such as parasitic micro-wasps have high basic and applied importance for their widespread use biocontrol agents. Their dispersal is a phenotype of particular interest. Classically, it evaluated using field releases, but those are time consuming, costly, results highly variable, preventing high-throughput repeatability. Alternatively, can be studied small-scale assays, neglect important higher-scale processes. Consequently, proper evaluation often complicated or...

Abstract Animal movement and behavior are critical to understanding ecological evolutionary processes. Recent years have witnessed an increase in methodological technological innovations video-tracking solutions for phenotyping animal behavior. Although these advances enable the collection of high-resolution data describing multiple individuals, analyzing interpreting them remains challenging due their complexity, heterogeneity, noisiness. Here, we introduce MoveR, R package importing,...
