Model of grid resource selection based on the trust moment [PDF]

open access: yesTongxin xuebao, 2012
The trust torque was defined as the product of trust gravitation and trust radius and the grid resource selection model based on trust torque was proposed.The grid resources are divided into many trusted resource domains according to different types and ...

The effect of fire on spatial separation between wolves and caribou

open access: yesRangifer, 2012
Fire management is an important conservation tool in Canada’s national parks. Fires can benefit some species, while others may be negatively impacted. We used GPS and VHF collar data for 47 wolves from 12 separate packs and 153 caribou from 5 separate ...

A Midsummer Night’s Diet: Snapshot on Trophic Strategy of the Alpine Salamander, Salamandra atra

open access: yesDiversity, 2020
Information on the trophic ecology of the Alpine salamander, Salamandra atra, is scattered and anecdotal. We studied for the first time the trophic niche and prey availability of a population from an area located in Italian Dolomites during the first ...

Step selection techniques uncover the environmental predictors of space use patterns in flocks of Amazonian birds

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2014
Understanding the behavioral decisions behind animal movement and space use patterns is a key challenge for behavioral ecology. Tools to quantify these patterns from movement and animal–habitat interactions are vital for transforming ecology into a ...

Little brown Myotis roosts are spatially associated with foraging resources on Prince Edward Island

open access: yesWildlife Society Bulletin, 2023
Animal fitness is closely linked to accessing and capitalizing on local resources such as prey and shelter. Resources vary in quality, thus individuals may demonstrate selectivity for particular resource types.

Using eDNA metabarcoding to understand the effect of fire on the diet of small mammals in a woodland ecosystem

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2022
Food acquisition is a fundamental process that drives animal distribution and abundance, influencing how species respond to changing environments. Disturbances such as fire create significant shifts in available dietary resources, yet, for many species ...

Wind energy facilities affect resource selection of capercaillie Tetrao urogallus [PDF]

open access: yes, 2021
The recent increase in wind energy facilities (WEF) has led to concerns about their effect on wildlife. While the focus of most studies has mainly been on increased mortality of birds and bats due to collision, indirect effects, such as behavioural ...
