Perspective matters : individual and species movement in spatial context

Abstract

My PhD journey was long and challenging, but a unique and enjoyable experience. Due to immigration to Canada, there was a halt in my study. It took me some time, as a newcomer, to realize how to settle down, deal with new living conditions and do the research in the meantime. A burning desire to finish the journey, the enjoyment of research, along with encouragement received from my supervisors, family and friends didn't allow me to cease what I had started. This achievement only became possible with the support, dedication, and contribution of several individuals whom I am truly grateful to.
