DESCRIPTION:Animal behavior is a key determinant of individual fitness\, bu
 t also drives patterns and processes at broader ecological scales. By stud
 ying the drivers and diversity of individual behavioral strategies\, we ca
 n develop a mechanistic understanding of emergent collective behavior\, po
 pulation dynamics\, community structure\, and landscape-level ecological p
 rocesses. In my work\, I use the antipredator behavior of African ungulate
 s as a lens to explore the cross-scale ecological impacts of behavior. Pre
 dation risk drives diverse behavioral adaptations that affect how prey ani
 mals interact with their social\, biotic\, and abiotic environments. In th
 is talk\, I will present my work on individual and collective antipredator
  behavior in ungulates\, as well as my future plans to explore antipredato
 r behavior as a driver of species association patterns. To pursue my resea
 rch questions\, I have led the development of novel drone- and image-based
  methods for behavioral observation in collaboration with computer scienti
 sts and engineers. I will present these advances and introduce WildDrone\,
  an interdisciplinary collaborative network that aims to develop autonomou
 s drone technologies for monitoring and conserving wildlife. By combining 
 multiscale studies of behavioral dynamics with cutting-edge observational 
 methods\, I am revolutionizing the way we study animal behavior\, and lead
 ing the field of behavioral ecology into the era of Big Data.\nSpeaker: Bl
