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
