Hello,

Dose anyone know of a way to create spereate kernel density estimates for sets of points within a single shapefile?  I have a shapefile with location points for over 500 individual birds, and would like to estimate each individuals home range using a 95% volume contour of their KDE.

I used to do this with Hawths tools, but this won't work with the ArcGIS 10.

Any suggestions greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Rachael.

Geospatial Modelling Environment http://www.spatialecology.com/gme/, the replacement software for Hawth's Tools can do this with the isopleth command and the appropriate where clause. It is now stand alone software rather than an ArcGIS extension and requires some script writing. The reference manual can be found here http://www.spatialecology.com/gme/images/SpatialEcologyGME.pdf.
