[en] Although subject of many researches since decades, movement studies have been recently enhanced by the emergence of the movement ecology paradigm (Nathan 2008). Under this paradigm, Nathan et al. (2008) proposed to break down movement of animal into four basic mechanistic components: i) internal states (motivation, physiology, why to move ?), ii) motion capacities (how to move ?), iii) navigation capacities and (when and where to move ?) and iv) external factors (physical environment and living organisms – conspecifics or not). Considering these four components of an individual’s movement, we reviewed literature dealing with wild boar (Sus scrofa L.), a species of important ecological and socio-economic concern, and tried to identify the key processes influencing this species’ movement. We conclude this review of the literature by highlighting the gaps in movement ecology of wild boar and suggesting further research directions under the light of the most recent used techniques.
