Abstract

Physical coordinates have not been routinely collected nor considered when examining ecological data sets; this even though we intuitively know that spatial relations are important. We explore the idiosyncrasies and methods that arise when making sense of a particular set of ecological data that has both spatial and environmental components. In particular, we will discuss the application of multiple types of spatial analysis and try to gauge the successes of each.
