用Transformer分析动物轨迹，识别物种更准且适应性强。

Inferring the identity of wildlife species from daily movement data alone is a challenging task. We train sequence models on large-scale, 7-species GPS trajectories from the Movebank platform. Trajectories models are evaluated using a protocol in which entire telemetry studies or regions are heldout during testing. We compare Transformer-based sequence models to LSTM, CNN, and Temporal Convolutional Networks, and find that Transformers consistently achieve higher balanced accuracy with gains of approximately 8 to 22 percentage points, depending on the species and experimental setting. In an elephant binary classification task with 1-hour resolution, the Transformer achieves a balanced accuracy of 0.83 and an AUC of 0.92, substantially outperforming all baseline models. We examine, under data-limited conditions, feature representations by analyzing the differences between a basic displacement-based encoding and an expanded range of movement descriptors that include speed, direction, and turning behavior. With feature augmentation, we see clear performance gains, especially for underrepresented and sparsely represented species, such as large carnivores, lions, and Zebras. Finally, experiments comparing 1-hour and 30-minutetemporal resolutions show that while finer sampling can capture short-term movement patterns for some species, a unified 1-hour resolution yields more promising performance across studies by reducing missing data and ensuring consistent temporal coverage.
