      abstract = {This book brings a unique perspective to animal movement  studies because all studies come from African tropical  environments where the great diversity, either biological  and structurally (trees, shrubs, vines, epiphytes), present  the animals with several options to fulfil their basic  needs. These conditions have forced the evolution of unique  movement patterns and ecological strategies. The book  follows on our previous book Movement Ecology of  Neotropical Forest Mammals but focuses on tropical African  forests. Movement is an essential process in the life of  all organisms. Animals move because they are looking for  primary needs such as food, water, cover, mating and to  avoid predators. Understanding the causes and consequences  of animal movement is not an easy task for behavioural  ecologists. Many animals are shy, move in secretive ways  and are very sensible to human presence, therefore,  studying the movements of mammals in tropical environments  presents logistical and methodological challenges. However,  researchers have recently started to be solved these  challenges and exciting new information is emerging. In  this book we are compiling a set of extraordinary studies  where researchers have used new technology and the  strongest methodological approaches to understand movement  patterns in wild African forest mammals. This second book  should inspire early career researchers to investigate wild  mammals movements in some of the most amazing forest in the  world: African tropical forests. .},
