Spatiotemporal analysis

Dear List,

I am interested to know if anyone is aware of or have developed any
software which can analyse both spatial and temporal  animal movements
with regard to environmental variables.

I am wanting to see which environmental variables ( I have about 20 of
them) influence different settling periods of a population of recently
released animals. The model I am looking for would ultimatley need to
identify different periods based on the animals changes in selection or
influence of variables on their locations over time since release. All
location data is spaced by a day or more, thereby removing factors of
autocorrelation.

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Regards
Simon Morgan

PhD candidate, University of KwaZulu-Natal.

 I haven't tried to develop this kind of project, but try to read about Tracking Analyst Tools(ArcGis), maybe it helps.

  I believe the free ArcGIS extension Hawths Analysis Tools could help you.
It has a tool named Animal Movements. I can't give you a personal opinion on
this because I haven't tried it yet.
 Maybe, you'll give us one once you do!
  You could check their website
http://www.spatialecology.com/htools/tooldesc.php for details.
  The best of luck!

 Yes, I think you speak about this article I've found, and sounds ok: http://www.bio.davidson.edu/people/midorcas/GISclass/GISprojects/hartman/Anim_Mov_UseMe.pdf

still looking RE: Spatio-temporal analysis

Hi,

Thanks for the input - much appreciated!

I have had a look at the suggestions and have actually worked with a number of these programs before. They tend to use analyse the data spatially and temporally only in terms of distances and the time between them, but -from what i can ascertain - none of them take into account the variation in environmental variables being selected from one point to the next.

Still looking.....

Simon
