Combining Regional Habitat Selection Models for Large-Scale Prediction: Circumpolar Habitat Selection of Southern Ocean Humpback Whales

Remote Sensing, 2021
Machine learning algorithms are often used to model and predict animal habitat selection—the relationships between animal occurrences and habitat characteristics.

A ‘How to’ guide for interpreting parameters in habitat‐selection analyses

Journal of Animal Ecology, 2021
Habitat‐selection analyses allow researchers to link animals to their environment via habitat‐selection or step‐selection functions, and are commonly used to address questions related to wildlife management and conservation efforts.

Defining the scale of habitat availability for models of habitat selection [PDF]

Ecology, 2016
AbstractStatistical models of habitat preference and species distribution (e.g., Resource Selection Functions and Maximum Entropy approaches) perform a quantitative comparison of the use of space with the availability of all habitats in an animal's environment.

Linking seasonal home range size with habitat selection and movement in a mountain ungulate

Movement Ecology, 2018
Background Space use by animals is determined by the interplay between movement and the environment, and is thus mediated by habitat selection, biotic interactions and intrinsic factors of moving individuals.

Effects of the social environment on movement-integrated habitat selection [PDF]

Movement Ecology
Background Movement links the distribution of habitats with the social environment of animals using those habitats. Despite the links between movement, habitat selection, and socioecology, their integration remains a challenge due to lack of shared ...

Waterbird Foraging Habitat Selection in Balikpapan Bay: Water Depth and Patch Area as Important Factors

Hayati Journal of Biosciences, 2021
Balikpapan Bay is one of the wetlands providing potential foraging habitat for waterbirds in Indonesia. Potential habitat loss due to oil industry expansion, recent waterbird occurrence, and co-occurrence of two closely related species with similar ...

Conceptual and methodological advances in habitat‐selection modeling: guidelines for ecology and evolution

Ecological Applications, 2021
Habitat selection is a fundamental animal behavior that shapes a wide range of ecological processes, including animal movement, nutrient transfer, trophic dynamics and population distribution.

Flexible hidden Markov models for behaviour-dependent habitat selection

bioRxiv, 2022
Background There is strong incentive to model behaviour-dependent habitat selection, as this can help delineate critical habitats for important life processes and reduce bias in model parameters.

Sea temperature effects on depth use and habitat selection in a marine fish community.

Journal of Animal Ecology, 2021
Understanding the responses of aquatic animals to temperature variability is essential to predict impacts of future climate change and to inform conservation and management.

Interacting gradients of selection and survival probabilities to estimate habitat quality: An example using the Gray Vireo (Vireo vicinior)

Ecological Indicators, 2021
Common approaches to estimating habitat quality are habitat suitability indices, which are often subjective. We propose a quantitative definition of habitat quality as the percentage of selected habitat that has a high probability of contributing to ...
