Understanding how wildlife responds to the spread of human-dominated habitats is a major challenge in ecology. It is still poorly understood how urban areas affect wildlife space-use patterns and consistent intra-specific behavioural differences (i.e.

Time-of-arrival transmitter localization systems, which use measurements from an array of sensors to estimate the location of a radio or acoustic emitter, are now widely used for tracking wildlife. Outlier measurements can severely corrupt estimated locations. This article describes a new suite of location estimation algorithms for such systems.

While tools for performing these analyses from digital elevation models (DEMs) are widespread, they are either too restrictive, inaccessible or pricey and difficult to use. This methodological gap is potentially imperative for scholars using solutions like telemetry tracking systems or spatial ecology landscape mapping.
