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.

Editorial Reviews
Review
"This book is an important reference for any biologists' bookshelf."
-SOUTHEASTERN NATURALIST (May 2006)
"This book is a must reference for all scientist that work with telemetry or are contemplating telemetry projects. It should be used from start to finish...Academic Press is to be commended for continuing and updating its wildlife telemetry offerings."
-THE CANADIAN FIELD-NATURALIST (2002)
"...I have no doubts that this book will warrant a place in one's library, especially to assist graduate students in the design, planning, and delivery of radiotracking studies, as well as in the analysis or radiotracking data."
-JOURNAL OF MAMMALOGY (February 2003)
"...is a valuable book that should be of interest to a wide readership. ...I highly recommend this book for individuals conducting radiotelemerty studies."
-Barry R. Noon for THE AUK (April 2002)
"If I was embarking on a radio tracking study I would start with this book since it is concise in the basics, clearly highlights many potential pitfalls and stimulates deeper thinking about what can be achieved with tracking studies."
-Jeremy Lindsell for IBIS (2002)
"...wildlife biologists, managers and students seeking a laudable compilation of readable synopses will find exactly that...Various contributors have done an admirable job of placing methods in context with one another and distilling the fundamentals of relatively complicated statistical techniques."
-Geln A. Sargaent, U.S. Geological Survey Northern Prairie Wildlife Research Center for ECOLOGY (2002)

From the Back Cover
Radio Tracking and Animal Populations is a succinct synthesis of emerging technologies and their application to the empirical and theoretical problems of animal population assessment. The book is divided into sections designed to encompass the various aspects of animal ecology that may be evaluated using radio tracking technology - experimental design, equipment and technology, animal movement, resource selection, and demographics. The book is at the leading edge of new developments in this technology and its application. The editors and contributors have provided a synthesis of this fast changing field. Especially useful will be the catalog of software currently available for analyzing the data obtained in radio tracking studies. Any practicing wildlife biologist who already uses radio tracking or plans to use radio tracking will need this book.

Radio Tracking and Animal Populations,
By A Customer
This review is from: Radio Tracking and Animal Populations (Ign Outdoor Activities (Plein Air) S.) (Hardcover)
Radio tracking and animal populations covers all aspects of radio tracking wild animals, from designing the study right through to analyzing results and drawing conclusion from the findings. I have found this book to be the most comprehensively referenced, and in depth piece of literature on radio tracking that I have managed to locate so far.I have constantly used this book while carrying out a telemetry study as the research for my masters degree, and recommend this book as the ideal starting point for anyone considering carying out a radio tracking study of wild animals. My only regret concerning this book is that I didn't come across it earlier in my studies.
5.0 out of 5 stars
An excellent reference,

This review is from: Radio Tracking and Animal Populations (Ign Outdoor Activities (Plein Air) S.) (Hardcover)
Millspaugh and Marzluff's text is the most complete and up-to-date resource for information regarding the application and analysis of radio-telemetry studies. All aspects, from sampling design to analytical techniques, are described in depth. Anyone who is considering conducting a telemetry study or the analysis of any telemetry data should read this book front to back first.
