Experiments with document archive size detection [PDF]

, 2003
The size of a document archive is a very important parameter for resource selection in distributed information retrieval systems. In this paper, we present a method for automatically detecting the size (ie the number of documents) of a document archive ...

The influence of a conservation‐based grazing program on greater sage‐grouse habitat selection

Conservation Science and Practice
Understanding how vegetation management affects animals' habitat selection patterns is critical for comprehensive conservation planning. As part of a decade‐long study (2011–2019) of 486 adult female sage‐grouse in central Montana, we investigated how a ...

Reconciling resource utilization and resource selection functions [PDF]

Journal of Animal Ecology, 2013
Summary Analyses based on utilization distributions (UDs) have been ubiquitous in animal space use studies, largely because they are computationally straightforward and relatively easy to employ. Conventional applications of resource utilization functions (RUFs) suggest that estimates of UDs can be used as response variables in a regression involving

Multi-objective resource selection in distributed information retrieval [PDF]

, 2002
In a Distributed Information Retrieval system, a user submits a query to a broker, which determines how to yield a given number of documents from all possible resource servers. In this paper, we propose a multi-objective model for this resource selection

Mule Deer Habitat Selection Following Vegetation Thinning Treatments in New Mexico

Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2020
Mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus) survival and population growth in north‐central New Mexico, USA, was previously reported to be limited by nutritional constraints due to poor forage conditions in degraded habitats.

Post-Release Activity and Habitat Selection of Rehabilitated Black Bears

Human-Wildlife Interactions, 2018
Despite the long history of wildlife rehabilitation and the abundance of empirical knowledge of the behavior and resource selection of wildlife species, rarely does research bridge these disciplines.

Early‐life movement ecology of a cervid: Implications for chronic wasting disease management

Ecological Solutions and Evidence
Aspects of early‐life movement, including dispersal and exploratory movement, are often poorly understood and are key to disease epidemiology. Chronic wasting disease (CWD), a terminal prion disease impacting cervids, is expanding geographically and ...
