With the advances in miniaturization of electronic components, wildlife biologists now routinely monitor the movements of free-ranging animals with radio-tracking devices. This book explains the many analytical techniques and computer programs available to extract biological information from the data obtained. It presents details of how to design radio-tracking studies, the effects of tagging on the animal, estimating animal locations - by triangulation, home range estimation, habitat analysis, and estimation of survival rates and population size. A work of vital importance to wildlife biologists using this method of study.
