Hi. I would like to incorporate spatial autocorreation into some ecological models and I'm overwhelmed by the number of programs out there and I would appreciate some advice where I can get started (and maybe finish!). The study: I surveyed birds along roads every 0.8 km and each point was georeferenced. I clipped buffers from satellite imagery to quantify the proportion of cover around each point (radii of buffers = 90, 210, 990 m). I submitted a paper where I linked the number of species at a point to land use variables but this manuscript was rejected because I did not incorporate spatial autocorrelation. I'm unfamiliar with spatial statistics so I'll be reading Cressie and others but I would like to start tinkering with the data and methods. Many thanks, Jeff **************************************** Jeffrey A.
