Authors’ information

: LQ is an animal ecologist with expertise in stream and mammal ecology, and a strong interest in movement ecology and methods in ecology. MP is an ecologist, more specifically a botanist interested in community ecology, and a programmer. After noting the lack of software allowing to simulate trajectories in linear habitats (e.g. rivers), which is a pre-requisite to study the movement ecology of organisms, such as semiaquatic mammals, mostly moving within river networks, LQ sought to develop a (free) software to fill this gap. The meeting with MP provided the perfect opportunity. LQ and MP now hope that their software will contribute to the development of the movement ecology research, particularly in linear and heterogeneous landscapes, and seek feedbacks and collaborations to enhance software potentialities.
