Lessons from integrating behaviour and resource selection: activity-specific responses of African wild dogs to roads [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Understanding how anthropogenic features affect species' abilities to move within landscapes is essential to conservation planning and requires accurate assessment of resource selection for movement by focal species.

An evaluation of resource description quality measures [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
An open problem for Distributed Information Retrieval is how to represent large document repositories (known as resources) efficiently. To facilitate resource selection, estimated descriptions of each resource are required, especially when faced with non-

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 ...

Adaptive query-based sampling of distributed collections [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
As part of a Distributed Information Retrieval system a de-scription of each remote information resource, archive or repository is usually stored centrally in order to facilitate resource selection.

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 ...

Used-habitat calibration plots: a new procedure for validating species distribution, resource selection, and step-selection models [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
“Species distribution modeling” was recently ranked as one of the top five “research fronts” in ecology and the environmental sciences by ISI's Essential Science Indicators (Renner and Warton 2013), reflecting the importance of predicting how species ...

Long‐ and short‐term temporal variability in habitat selection of a top predator

open access: yesEcosphere, 2015
Considerable theory explains the importance of understanding temporal variation in ecological processes. Nevertheless, long‐term variability in habitat selection is rarely assessed or even acknowledged.
