1st Edition
by Francine L. Dolins (Editor)
From
foraging patterns in a single tree to social interactions across a home
range, how primates use space is a key question in the field of primate
behavioral ecology. Drawing on the latest advances in spatial analysis
tools, this book offers practical guidance on applying geographic
information systems (GIS) to central questions in primatology. An
initial methodological section discusses niche modelling, home range
analysis and agent-based modelling, with a focus on remote data
collection. Research-based chapters demonstrate how ecologists apply
this technology to a suite of topics including: calculating the
intensity of use of both range and travel routes, assessing the impacts
of logging, mining and hunting, and informing conservation strategies.
