Software Reviews Published in the Wildlife Society Bulletin

The Wildlife Society Bulletin encourages submission of manuscripts that critically review classes of software having broad application to wildlife conservation. For example, Larkin and Halkin (1994. Wildlife Society Bulletin 22:274-287) wrote an excellent review of home range analysis software.

Rexstad (1992. Wildlife Society Bulletin 20:457) provided guidelines for submission of software reviews. Suggested topics include review of software which implement

• analysis of habitat use
• survival analysis
• abundance/density estimation

• experimental/sampling/monitoring design
• graphics production
• geostatistics or spatial statistics
