[ECOLOG-L] ESA2015 Road Ecology Session
Interested in sharing your road ecology research? We are organizing both a Symposia and an Organized Oral Session on road ecology for the ESA2015 Centennial meeting, to be held in Baltimore MD August 9-14. For the Symposia (Road Ecology – Moving Forward) we have a few slots open and are looking for faculty or postdocs who would like to share their original road ecology research and future directions for their sub-field. Similarly, we want to provide an opportunity and a single location and time slot for all to share their research in the field in an organized oral session titled ‘Case Studies in Road Ecology’. We feel that both the OOS and the Symposium will complement each other nicely. This is a bit last minute, but if you were thinking of submitting an abstract to ESA 2015 pertaining to Road Ecology we would love to include you in one of our proposed sessions. Please contact Dane Ward dc...@drexel.edu by September 23rd EOB with a brief description and title of your work. Thanks for your interest.

Re: [ECOLOG-L] Home Range Software?
Hi Christina, I use Geospatial Modeling Environment (GME). It replaces Hawth's Tools. It is free and very easy to use, with a how to manual free online. http://www.spatialecology.com/gme/ Best, Dane Ward On Mon, Oct 14, 2013 at 6:09 PM, Christina Galitsky wrote: > I am about to do some home range studies of tree kangaroos in Papua New > Guinea.
