Welcome to a quantitative and computer-based
review of techniques involved in conducting analysis of movement and location
data. Major topics will include study design, sampling and statistical
considerations, importing data into a geographic information system, determination
of site fidelity and presence of a home range, multiple methods of home
range calculation, examining habitat preference, dynamic and static interactions
between individuals or individuals and events, and creating Monte Carol
and bootstrap tests for examining spatial patterns of interest. The methods
discussed are not species- or system-specific and can be applied across
taxa and in most habitats.
Prerequisites: Data Analysis I (FIS4200) and Data Analysis II (FIS4300) or equivalent
college coursework recommended. Recent experience with ArcView GIS at
least equivalent to GIS Introduction for Conservation Professionals (TEC71112)
Who should attend: Biologists using telemetry to study animal movement, home range, and
habitat selection.
Length: 5
days/36 hours
Topics:
- Telemetry study design;
- Autocorrelation;

error;
- Map projections and datums;
