Radio Tracking And Animal Populations

Radio Tracking and Animal Populations is a succinct synthesis of emerging technologies and their application to the empirical and theoretical problems of animal population assessment. The book is divided into sections designed to encompass the various aspects of animal ecology that may be evaluated using radio tracking technology - experimental design, equipment and technology, animal movement, resource selection, and demographics. The book is at the leading edge of new developments in this technology and its application. The editors and contributors have provided a synthesis of this rapidly changing field. Especially useful will be the catalog of software currently available for analyzing the data obtained in radio tracking studies. Any practicing wildlife biologist who already uses radio tracking or plans to use radio tracking will need this book.
