- Summary
- "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. The volume features the following: 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."--Page 4 of cover.
