• Preface introducing the field of Tracking Animals in the  wild  and the different chapters:

This handbook solicited contributions in the field of tracking animals in the wikd.  It aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the concepts, theories, algorithms, and applications related to state-of-the-art statistical methods applied to biologging data. It also seeks to bridge the gap between biologists and machine learning specialists by fostering knowledge exchange and identifying current methodological needs and challenges. This website contains the list of chapters, their abstract and links to the demos. It allows the reader to have a quick access to the main resources, datasets and codes in the field. Finally, this handbook aims to serve as a comprehensive resource by providing a range of approaches for analysing and interpreting animal movements and behaviours in both surface and underwater environments.. The handbook consists of tow parts.
