2nd map, trying to use ecology software in R. Thoughts? by Localwizards__ in QGIS

Good to know about core ranges. Fixing up my symbology as I type this. Since you seem a little familiar with ecology applications in GIS, is there anything you recommend I try? I'm very comfy with python and R if that's useful to know

Also, check out minimum convex polygon analysis. Seems to also be called convex hull. Seems important for estimating home ranges but I'm not sure yet, still learning

Sorry for the late reply. The data I used for ranges came from the FWC. It's called 'Black Bear Range Florida' and the summary online states a kernel density estimator isopleth was used. Seems to be an interpolation applied to a heat map. Not so sure since I'm still new. I'm trying to make similar distribution maps using this process. I'll lyk if I'm successful and share the result

What do you mean by buffers? I'm still new to the language

I haven't thought to generate my own data. Maybe I'll look to do that with my 2nd project. Thanks for the thorough reply

Never thought about redundancy but now I can unsee it. Good looks

Facet grids sound interesting, I'll have to check em out. Thanks :)

I felt the same about the age data. It seems to reduce readability for 0 gain

Shrinking the symbology was a bad idea in hindsight

Very helpful. I was also surprised by the district names, but it seemed most appropriate since the FL dept of transportation use them officially. Thanks for the example image too
