Animals couple habitats by three types of movement: dispersal, migration, and foraging, which dynamically link populations, communities, and ecosystems. Across these types, movement distances tend to correlate with each other, potentially reflecting allometric scaling with body mass, but ecological and evolutionary species' traits may constrain movement distances and weaken these correlations. Here, we investigate multivariate “movement profiles” to better understand patterns in movement across movement types, with the aim of improving predictions in ecology from populations to ecosystems.

宏观生态对物种“运动概况”的限制：体重并不能解释一切

动物通过三种类型的运动将栖息地结合起来：分散、迁徙和觅食，从而动态地将种群、群落和生态系统联系起来。在这些类型中，运动距离往往相互关联，可能反映了与体重的异速生长，但生态和进化物种的特征可能会限制运动距离并削弱这些相关性。在这里，我们研究多变量“运动概况”，以更好地理解跨运动类型的运动模式，目的是改进从种群到生态系统的生态学预测。
