β¦ Synopsis
Some non-parametric methods of resolving static interaction between the utilizations of two home ranges, and dynamic interaction between the movements of two individuals, are evaluated and shown to be useful tools in the analysis of radiotracking data on overlapping ranges and concurrently tracked animals. The methods described are independent of sampling intensity and', with few underlying assumptions, they are suitable for quantitative comparisons between different pairs of animals. The interpretive value of analyses of interaction is illustrated with data obtained on the mobile ranges of foxes living in Oxford city.

Many infections cause lasting detectable immune responses, whose prevalence can be estimated from cross-sectional surveys. However, such surveys do not provide direct information on the incidence of infection. We address the issue of estimating age and time specific incidence from a series of preval
