1 Introduction Animal movement data are necessary to understand the distribution of global biodiversity in space and time. This data is biased toward well-studied geographic regions, with proportionally few data from biodiverse tropical forests (Kays et al. 2022). The vast majority of animal species in tropical forests are missing basic movement information, such as home range size, which is essential to determine whether a species is threatened and inform effective conservation (Kays et al. 2022).
