Popis: Geographic Information Systems (GIS's) facilitate analyses of spatial and temporal data. This paper provides an introduction to the terminology, components, advantages, and current limitations of computerized GIS's. Case studies addressing the identification and characterization of potential habitat for the Golden-cheeked Warbler (Dendroica chrysoparia) and Black-capped Vireo (Vireo atricapillus) are provided for illustration of the potential utility of GIS's for ornithological research.
