Spatial Modeling
Logistic regression is a powerful tool when deriving species' spatial patterns. It can be used to better understand a species preferred environment and the environmental and anthropogenic variables that influence their movement patterns and their core use areas.
These are excepts from various spatial modeling techniques used in my thesis project, "Evaluation of Acoustic Telemetry Array Performance and Fine- Scale and Broad-Scale Spatial Movement Patterns for Coral Reef Species in Culebra, Puerto Rico"
Permit monthly movement variance in fine-scale array in Culebra, Puerto Rico August 2012 – December 2014 a) Permit diel movement variance in fine-scale array in Culebra, Puerto Rico August 2012 - December 2014 b) August 2012 – December 2014. Black lines are nighttime movements and red lines are daytime movements c) time spent at each location (black dots indicate night and red indicate day, size of dots indicates length of time) d) distance moved (size of dots indicate amount of movement)
