Spatial Information Management in Wildlife Ecology: Adding Spatially Explicit Behaviour Data to the Equation?

  • Chapter

Abstract

The implementation of spatial data to wildlife management is not really new as such, although it has not been explicitly demanded and practiced (Braun 2005). By adding spatial information to the discipline, resounding success has already been achieved elsewhere improving specific science goals (e.g. Kadmon et al. 2004; Hirzel et al. 2006).
