Kd. Zykov et al., APPROACH METHODS TO PROCESS THE RESULTS O F GAME MAMMALS WINTER REGISTRATION (CONSTRUCTION AND ANALYSIS OF DISTRIBUTION MAPS), Izvestia Akademii nauk SSSR. Seria biologiceskaa, (3), 1994, pp. 386-395
Regular game mammals' winter registration is carried out over the last
30 years. A method of account, Winter account of animal tracks on the
itineraries, has been described in detail. A spesialized software for
processing the results of this account on IMB PC XT/AT has been devel
oped at the Institute of Evolutionary Animal Morphology and Ecology, R
ussian Academy of Sciences. It allows one to make distribution maps an
d analyse the obtained materials. The method was tested on the materia
ls of regular accounts and proved to be suitable for obtaining correct
results. It is an acceptable approach to documenting and ''legalizati
on'' of the archive materials and formation of constantly renewable ec
ological data bases.
