Appennino: A GIS Tool for Analyzing Wildlife Habitat Use

Figure 3

Land use polygon layer with the home range polygon shape of each individual animal and the land use circular plots generated with the Hawth tool (http://www.spatialecology.com/htools/), from the ArcGIS table of contents. Note: the land use layer, performed for clarity, is not required by the tool. With this set of data, 50 random circular plots of the average home range size of the birds in the case study (110 m) were chosen across the study area.
