Sarah C. Davidson's research focuses on animal movement ecology, particularly the collection, standardization, and sharing of bio-logging (tracking device) data to support wildlife conservation and ecological research. Her work involves building databases and analysis tools, such as Movebank-related infrastructure, MoveApps, and MoveTraits, that integrate animal tracking data with behavioral and trait information across species. This work supports broader efforts to understand how animals respond to environmental change, including climate change and human disturbances like COVID-19 lockdowns.
