Evaluating resource selection functions [PDF]

Ecological Modelling, 2002
A resource selection function (RSF) is any model that yields values proportional to the probability of use of a resource unit. RSF models often are fitted using generalized linear models (GLMs) although a variety of statistical models might be used. Information criteria such as the Akaike Information Criteria (AIC) or Bayesian Information Criteria (BIC)

Bootstrap estimation of resource selection probability functions [PDF]

Computational Ecology and Software, 2013
Resource selection functions (RSFs) are used for quantify how animals are selective in the use of the habitat period or food. A Resource Selection Probability Function (RSPF) can be estimated if N, the total number of units in the population, and n1 the ...

Solving the sample size problem for resource selection functions [PDF]

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, 2021
Abstract Sample size sufficiency is a critical consideration for estimating resource selection functions (RSFs) from GPS‐based animal telemetry. Cited thresholds for sufficiency include a number of captured animals

Seasonal Habitat Selection by American White Pelicans

Diversity, 2022
Resource utilization strategies of avian migrants are a major concern for conservation and management. Understanding seasonal habitat selection by migratory birds helps us explain the ongoing continental declines of migratory bird populations.

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

Comparing Methods of Defining Priority Areas for Greater Sage-Grouse

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022
Wildlife managers delineate priority areas for species to define critical habitat and to prioritize management efforts. Each method used to identify priority areas involves data that can be unavailable or expensive to obtain. Therefore, it is of interest

Identifying Potential Conservation Corridors Along the Mongolia-Russia Border Using Resource Selection Functions: A Case Study on Argali Sheep [PDF]

Mongolian Journal of Biological Sciences, 2013
The disruption of animal movements is known to affect wildlife populations, particularly large bodied, free-ranging mammals that require large geographic ranges to survive.

Long‐term changes in habitat selection and prey spectrum in a reintroduced Eurasian lynx (Lynx lynx) population in Switzerland

Ecology and Evolution, 2022
When wild‐caught Eurasian lynx (Lynx lynx) from the Slovak Carpathian Mountains were reintroduced to Central Switzerland in the early 1970s and spread through the north‐western Swiss Alps (NWA), they faced a largely unfamiliar landscape with strongly ...

Moose Habitat Selection and Fitness Consequences During Two Critical Winter Tick Life Stages in Vermont, United States†

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021
The moose (Alces alces) is a charismatic species in decline across much of their southern distribution in North America. In the northeastern United States, much of the reduction has been attributed to winter tick (Dermacentor albipictus) infestations ...

Habitat selection of an endangered primate, the samango monkey (Cercopithecus albogularis schwarzi): Integrating scales to prioritize habitat for wildlife management

Ecology and Evolution, 2021
Aim As habitat loss continues to accelerate with global human population growth, identifying landscape characteristics that influence species occurrence is a key conservation priority in order to prevent global biodiversity loss.
