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 ...

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)

Scale for resource selection functions

Diversity and Distributions, 2006
ABSTRACTResource selection functions (RSFs) are statistical models defined to be proportional to the probability of use of a resource unit. My objective with this review is to identify how RSFs can be used to unravel the influence of scale in habitat selection. In wildlife habitat studies, including radiotelemetry, RSFs can be estimated using a variety

Transcending scale dependence in identifying habitat with resource selection functions

Ecological Applications, 2012
Multi‐scale resource selection modeling is used to identify factors that limit species distributions across scales of space and time. This multi‐scale nature of habitat suitability complicates the translation of inferences to single, spatial depictions of habitat required for conservation of species.

Creek Beds and Cape Hares: Spatial and Seasonal Determinants of Caracal Movement and Diet in a Hyperarid Desert Ecosystem [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution
Native mesopredators face challenges adapting to landscapes modified by human activities, particularly in arid regions, where resources are naturally limited and ecological dynamics are sensitive to disturbance.

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.
