ACCRU Tools
The ACCRU Tools toolbox contains custom, ever-evolving tools created to answer ecological questions posed by researchers of the Alberta Cooperative Conservation Research Unit (ACCRU) at the University of Alberta. Although specific applications in conservation ecology form the basis of tool development – e.g. temporal analysis of polar bear sea ice habitat, proximity analyses of urban amphibian wetlands, forest harvest block edge crossing characterization, wolf behavioural cluster identification, landscape randomization, a changeable habitat model calculator, etc. – they are flexible enough for just about any ecologist's use. Several generic utilities are also included to help make data processing and other workflows more efficient. The open source of the Python language and ModelBuilder framework allows experienced users to modify the tools to help answer alternative questions.
