The impacts of environmental predictability on the ecology and evolution of animal movement have been the subject of vigorous speculation for several decades. Recently, the swell of new biologging technologies has further stimulated their investigation. This advancing research frontier, however, still lacks conceptual unification and has so far focused little on converse effects. Populations of moving animals have ubiquitous effects on processes such as nutrient cycling and seed dispersal and may therefore shape patterns of environmental predictability. Here, we synthesise the main strands of the literature on the feedbacks between environmental predictability and animal movement and discuss how they may react to anthropogenic disruption, leading to unexpected threats for wildlife and the environment.

环境可预测性是动物运动的原因和后果。

几十年来，环境可预测性对动物的生态和动物运动进化的影响一直是人们强烈猜测的主题。最近，新的生物测井技术的涌现进一步刺激了他们的研究。但是，这个不断发展的研究领域仍然缺乏概念上的统一，到目前为止，它几乎没有关注逆向效应。活动中的动物种群对营养循环和种子传播等过程具有普遍影响，因此可能会塑造环境可预测性的模式。在这里，我们综合了关于环境可预测性和动物运动之间的反馈的文献的主要内容，并讨论了它们如何对人为破坏做出反应，从而导致对野生动植物和环境的意外威胁。
