WILDTRAK (v1.20)- Home Range Analysis for the Macintosh
by Ian Todd

INTRODUCTION
Wildtrak is a program developed for the analysis of radio-tracking or
other locational data.  Standard methods of describing the data are
included such as polygon and grid cell analysis.  There is also a facility to
analyse speed and distance of movement and more complex analyses to
examine interactions between animals.

DEMONSTRATION COPY
A demonstration copy of Wildtrak is available from the address below.
It is also available for download at the Illinois Natural History Survey
Wildlife Ecology Software Server:

Full instructions are provided on how to try out Wildtrak on a few of your
own files.

- Polygon analyses
Convex and concave multiple animal plots with overlaps.
- Grid-cell techniques
Multiple animals plots with areas and overlaps.
- Drift
Enables drifting of home range with time to be evaluated
- Movement parameters
Distance and speed parameters for single activity cycles.
- Autocorrelation
Schoener's index calculations
- Static Interaction
Determination of correlation between overlapping home ranges.
- Dynamic Interaction
