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.
Read more- The first volume specifically for primatologists on the application of GIS, with practical guidance to encourage use of the technology, such as advice on the best field transmitters
- Research-based chapters show how many of the leading spatial ecologists apply this technology to address central questions in primatology in diverse circumstances and research projects
- Shows how GIS can help to assess the impact of logging, mining and hunting, and help to inform primate conservation strategies
