Hi,

Can this be used for analysis Plant populations? How effective or defective it can be on studying plants?

Thanks in advance

Hi Johny,

the toolbox was programmed to analyze movement and home range of a
single animal/mamal (in that case grizzly bears) - not even for animal
populations. So I don't think its possible to analyze plants.

However, the point based Kernel-Density methods (such as point KDE ) and
the MCP method could work with any type of point observation data to
calculate what one could call "area of occurrence" (as "Home Range"
doesn't make sense... I think). And using observation data for 2
distinct years that may be 10 years apart one could check for
differences in area? perhaps?
Means some tools may be useful... others are definitely not. The point
KDE method could also be used for "hot spot analysis", I think.

cheers,
stefan
