A guide to using geographic information systems (GIS) to research how primates use space, a question central to primate behavioral ecology. Covering cutting-edge methodology along with practical guidance on its use, the volume features research-based chapters on topics including travel routes, the impact of logging and the use of GIS in conservation.
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.
