This unique, problem-solving-oriented guide focuses on how to extract the most from GPS animal tracking data, while preventing error propagation and optimizing analysis performance. Based on the open source PostgreSQL/PostGIS spatial database, the software platform will allow researchers and managers to integrate and harmonize GPS tracking data together with animal characteristics, environmental data sets, including remote sensing image time series, and other bio-logged data, such as acceleration data. Moreover, the book shows how the powerful R statistical environment can be integrated into the software platform, either connecting the database with R, or embedding the same tools in the database through the PostgreSQL extension Pl/R. The client/server architecture allows users to remotely connect a number of software applications that can be used as a database front end, including GIS software and WebGIS. Each chapter offers a real-world data management and processing problem that is discussed in its biological context; solutions are proposed and exemplified through ad hoc SQL code, progressively exploring the potential of spatial database functions applied to the respective wildlife tracking case. Finally, wildlife tracking management issues are discussed in the increasingly widespread framework of collaborative science and data sharing. GPS animal telemetry data from a real study, freely available online, are used to demonstrate the proposed examples. This book is also suitable for undergraduate and graduate students, if accompanied by the basics of databases.      . 606 $aAnimal ecology 606 $aConservation biology 606 $aEcology 606 $aZoology 606 $aBiodiversity 606 $aBiotic communities 606 $aBehavioral sciences 606 $aAnimal Ecology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L19015 606 $aConservation Biology/Ecology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L19150 606 $aZoology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L25007 606 $aBiodiversity$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L19031 606 $aCommunity & Population Ecology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L19120 606 $aBehavioral Sciences$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L13009 615 0$aAnimal ecology. 615 0$aConservation biology. 615 0$aEcology. 615 0$aZoology. 615 0$aBiodiversity. 615 0$aBiotic communities. 615 0$aBehavioral sciences. 615 14$aAnimal Ecology. 615 24$aConservation Biology/Ecology. 615 24$aZoology. 615 24$aBiodiversity. 615 24$aCommunity & Population Ecology. 615 24$aBehavioral Sciences. 676 $a570 676 $a577 676 $a577.82 676 $a590 702 $aUrbano$b Ferdinando$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aCagnacci$b Francesca$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910298316803321 996 $aSpatial Database for GPS Wildlife Tracking Data$92500523 997 $aUNINA
