Abstract
A probability model and associated statistical techniques are presented which are specifically designed to analyze the home range of animals inhibiting nonhomogeneous habitats with the special characteristics of an ecotone. The utilization distribution of an individual animal is approximated with a continuous bivariate probability distribution having unimodal and independent X and Y distributions with axes parallel and at right angles to the ecotone. Statistical techniques based on this model are used to analyze a set of capture points for bullfrogs (Rana catesbeiana) inhabiting the shoreline of a pond. The approach used is applicable to other animals inhabiting other ecotones, but not to animals inhibating homogeneous habitats.
