Understanding animal movement behaviour in dynamic agricultural landscapes The movement of organisms has formed our planet like few other processes. Movements shape populations communities entire ecosystems and guarantee fundamental ecosystem functions and services like seed dispersal and pollination. Global regional and local anthropogenic impacts influence animal movements across ecosystems all around the world. In particular land use modification like habitat loss and fragmentation disrupt movements between habitats with profound consequences from increased disease transmissions to reduced species richness and abundance. However neither the influence of anthropogenic change on animal movement processes nor the resulting effects on ecosystems are well understood. Therefore we need a coherent understanding of organismal movement processes and their underlying mechanisms to predict and prevent altered animal movements and their consequences for ecosystem functions. In this thesis I aim at understanding the influence of anthropogenically caused land use change on animal movement processes and ...
