Final Report: Modeling Spatial Use Patterns of White-tailed Deer in the Florida Everglades
Labisky RF and Hartless CS. 2000. Final Report: Modeling Spatial Use Patterns of White-tailed Deer in the Florida Everglades
The main objective of this study was to develop an individual-based spatially explicit (IBSE) simulation model of movement patterns of adult white-tailed deer in the Florida Everglades. The model provides a means of exploring patterns of spatial use of deer in response to environmental catastrophes (e.g., tropical storms) and to different management regimes (e.g., water control). Furthermore, the statistical methodologies used to calibrate and validate this IBSE model provide a foundation for the development of future simulation models.
