  1. The Animal Movement Program:Integrating GIS with Spatial Analysis Of Animal Movements U.S. Department of Interior U.S. Geological Survey Alaska Biological Science Center Glacier Bay Field Station

  2. The Animal Movement Program • The need for a program integrating GIS and animal movement analysis • What Animal Movement can do • How do I make it run on my computer? • The next version

  3. Other movement programs • Homer • CalHome • MacPaal • Antelope • Wildtrak • Telem • Ranges V • Many single-function programs

  4. What was missing? • Integration with GIS (none) • A full suite of analysis functions (Ranges?) • Ability to handle a wide variety of data (none) • Extensibility (none) • Ability to run on all major operating systems and processors (none)

  5. Animal Movement is an ArcView Extension • ArcInfo/ArcView is the most widely used GIS program • ArcView is available for all major operating systems and processors • ArcView has a versatile built-in object oriented programming language • Extensions to ArcView can be loaded and unloaded easily

  6. Animal Movement • Will utilize any type of point data that can be brought into ArcView • Works in any projection* • Works on any selected subset of data* • Produces Coverages, Grids, or Tables i.e. all output is compatible with ArcView *Except Gin= Gout2 G = Garbage

  7. Changes to the ArcView View Doc Buttons Menu Tools

  8. Most of The Sample Data Dungeness Crab Pacific Halibut

  9. MCP Home Range MinimumConvex Polygon

  10. Kernel Home Range Analysis

  11. Kernel Home Range Analysis

  12. Harmonic Mean Harmonic Mean Point Theme Shaded by Z values Harmonic Mean Raster Theme

  13. Jennrich-Turner Home Range 95% ellipse Minor axis Major axis

  14. Bootstrapping Home Range Sample Size

  15. Site Fidelity Test Monte Carlo simulated random walk Actual movements, within MCP home range

  16. Site Fidelity with and without boundaries

  17. Circular Statistics Vector histogram with mean vector in red Movement path

  18. Text output from theCircular Statistics Function

  19. Histogram Production

  20. Outlier removal and Probability MCPs

  21. Path Graphics Obsrv_date=Thu July 30 08:55:26 1992 Number of days since last sample=5 Distance traveled = 89.86

  22. Point to Polyline Generation

  23. Point Buffer

  24. Random Selection

  25. Generate Random Points Polygon

  26. Spider Analysis From all points to the harmonic mean

  27. Spider Analysis From all Points to the nearest Point or Polygon in another Coverage

  28. Other View Tools • Point statistics (36 calculated values) • Tests of complete spatial randomness • Nearest neighbor analysis • Classify points by polygons • Calculate distances between themes

  29. Other Attribute-based Tools • Table export • Aggregate/summarize attributes • Sort attribute tables • Calculate cumulative fields • Calculate area, perimeter, length in projected units

  30. What else can Animal Movement be used for? • Analysis of many point phenomena • LSCV is the best method of determining Kernel smoothing factor to use in Spatial Analyst Extension density estimation • Odds and ends are useful for filling various holes in ArcView’s capabilities

  31. About Animal Movement

  32. To Run Animal Movement... • Have ArcView 3.0 or 3.1 installed • Download it at www.absc.usgs.gov/glba/gistools.htm • Put it in the ext32 folder • If you want to use the Raster functions, such as the Kernel Home Range, then you will need Spatial Analyst • Select Spatial Animal Movement from the “Extensions” menu choice • Have a fast machine or patience for a few functions

  33. Animal Movement Ver. 2.0 • Batch Processing* • Habitat Analysis Functions • Compositional Analysis • Availability Analysis • Spider/Distance Analysis* • Classify Points by Polygons* • More Random Generation Tools* • Dirichlet Tesselation and Delaunay Triangulation* • Static and Dynamic Interaction • A Few Statistics • Spearman’s Rho • Mann-Whitney U test • Wilcoxon Matched-Pairs Signed-Rank Test • Regression
