With the substantial advances in the miniaturization of electronic components, wildlife biologists now routinely monitor the movements of free-ranging animals with radio-tracking devices. This book explicates the many analytical techniques and computer programs available to extract biological information from the radio tracking data.
- Presentation of software programs for solving specific problems
- Design of radio-tracking studies
- Mechanics of data collection
- Estimation of position by triangulation
- Graphic presentation of animal migration, dispersal, fidelity, and association
- Home range estimation, habitat utilization, and estimation of survival rates and population size
Wildlife biologists and their students and technicians
