Description

White-tailed Deer are large, four-legged mammals that can move around a large area. In their range they often return to the same patches and take the same trails. Other deer also have overlaps with each other's ranges. Based on this, is there a way to create a simplified network graph of the patches and movements between said patches of deer to better understand their movements. That is the rough idea behind this research.
