A spatial multinomial logit model for analysing urban expansion [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 The paper proposes a Bayesian multinomial logit model to analyse spatial patterns of urban expansion. The specification assumes that the log-odds of each class follow a spatial autoregressive process. Using recent advances in Bayesian computing, our model allows for a computationally efficient treatment of the spatial multinomial logit model.

Seasonal resource selection and movement ecology of free‐ranging horses in the western United States
The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 87, Issue 2, February 2023., 2023 Feral horses selected for areas of high herbaceous vegetation and avoided forest but moved to higher elevations in winter. Surface water influenced movement patterns for harem groups, whereas bachelor males moved faster, farther, and were less constrained by water availability than harems. Because of the importance of surface water, strategic placement

The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 87, Issue 2, February 2023., 2023 We evaluated how wetland occupancy by duck broods varied across crop‐dominated landscapes of the Prairie Pothole Region (PPR) in the United States to inform conservation strategies in the face of widespread land use alterations and climate change. We found about 4 in 10 small wetlands in crop‐dominated landscapes within the PPR were used by duck broods

Trade‐offs among restored ecosystem functions are context‐dependent in Mediterranean‐type regions
Ecography, EarlyView.Global biodiversity hotspots, including Mediterranean‐type ecosystems worldwide, are highly threatened by global change that alters biodiversity, ecosystem functions, and services. Some restoration activities enhance ecosystem functions by reintroducing plant species based on known relationships between plant traits and ecosystem processes.

The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 87, Issue 2, February 2023., 2023 This manuscript creates state‐wide habitat suitability models for the eastern red, hoary, and tri‐colored bat in Illinois. Along with a previously published habitat suitability model for the Indiana bat, we create a stacked habitat suitability model that is a proxy for all Chiropteran species in Illinois.

A zoogeographic model for the evolution of diversity and endemism in Madagascar
Ecography, EarlyView.The delineation of zoogeographic regions is essential for understanding the evolution of biodiversity. Madagascar, characterized by high levels of endemism and habitat diversity, presents unique challenges and opportunities for such studies. Traditional global zoogeographic classifications, largely based on vertebrates, may overlook finer‐scale ...

A set of ecosystem service indicators for European grasslands based on botanical surveys
Grassland ResearchBackground Grasslands provide a wide range of ecosystem services (ESs). However, there is currently no method for easily diagnosing the level of ESs produced.
