Ranges8 provides flexible stand-alone analysis software that helps you to collect data efficiently, then quantify area statistics, range overlaps, sociality, dispersal and habitat use with minimum effort and maximum speed. Ranges8 accepts radio-tracking data collected manually, GPS data or observed distributions from text files and is compatible with ArcView files, but does not need an expensive GIS system.  

• Hundreds of animal ranges can be analysed with one click (essential for the quantitative researcher).
• Simply open the output files straight into a spreadsheet, graphics package or other GIS system. NO macros to write and NO text handlers to fiddle with.
• With an integrated help, full of the most useful up-to-date information on home analyses, Ranges8 becomes a very practical teaching tool.
• Linear analyses allows you to take account of animals with restricted movements, e.g. fish in a river, hedgerow species
• OREPs (Objective-Restricted-Edge Polygons) are a new neighbour-linkage method based on peripheral neighbour linkages that are less than an outlier-exclusive distance away from each other.

Ranges7- Lite After many requests from researchers who do not need the full power of Ranges8 we have released a Lite version. Whilst keeping the user-friendliness of the latest version (no DOS screens, faster, easier grpahics extraction, log screen, easier access to statistics etc.) it is perfect for those who only need to have basic home range outlines, know their sizes and export the outlines into other software packages for habitat analyses etc..

Ranges7- Free shows you the general convenience of Ranges software. The free demonstration version allows you to analyse your date using Minimum Convex Polygons and shows you how much better later versions of Ranges work.
