Vincenzo,
Attached is a link for the animal movement extention used in Arcview 3.2
http://www.absc.usgs.gov/glba/gistools/
The Tool was created by Hooge and Eichenlaub (please remember to cite if you use it). This tool is quite easy to use and the website has a manual generally describing the procedures. I would also suggest reading material such as :
Seaman, D. E. and R. A. Powell. 1996. An evaluation of the accuracy of kernal density estimators for home range analysis. Ecology. 77(7): 2075-2085
Seaman, D. E., J. J. Millspaugh, B. J. Kernohan, G. C. Brundige, K. J. Raedeke, and R. A. Gitzen. 1999. Effects of sample size on kernal home range estimates. Journal of Wildlife Management. 63(2): 739-747
These are two references that explain the effect of sample size and accuracy of kernel densities. This will get you started. Hope this helps.

Vincenzo,
I don't know how far you can travel for this type of training, but the US Fish & Wildlife service has a training center called the National Conservation Training Center that offers one week courses in several different GIS applications. They offer (or used too) a class entitled "the Analysis of telemetry data in the GIS environment" that would probably address your needs. I forgot if we can include links or not but the address for the NCTC is http://training.fws.gov/. You'll have to look at their schedule since they only offer specific classes once or twice a year as the need occurs. Hope this is helpful.
Cheers,

Dear all, I'm working with ultrasonic telemetry and artificial reef... Last month I've finished a pilot-experiment on white sea bream, ultrasonically tagged and released in an artificial reef area... I've learned how my telemetry system works, but I don't know very much about home-range calculation, site-fidelity test... in other words I don't know how to use animal movement application for GIS, or other tools for spatial analysis. My idea is to leave my lab for 10-15 days and to learn everything about this matter. Can you tell me if there's somebody able to teach me all about GIS ani-mov application and the ecological theories behind? thanks a lot and please forgive my english!! :D
