Radio Tracking and Animal Populations (IGN Outdoor Activities (Plein Air))

Radio Tracking and Animal Populations is a succinct synthesis of emerging technologies and their applications to the empirical and theoretical problems of population assessment. The book is divided into sections designed to encompass the various aspects of animal ecology that may be evaluated using radiotelemetry technology - experimental design, equipment and technology, animal movement, resource selection, and demographics. Wildlife biologists at the leading edge of new developments in the technology and its application have joined forces. The turn of the millennium is a good time to take stock of developments in the radio-tagging of wildlife.
