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

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

Mapping resource selection functions in wildlife studies: Concerns and recommendations [PDF]

Applied Geography, 2016
Predicting the spatial distribution of animals is an important and widely used tool with applications in wildlife management, conservation, and population health. Wildlife telemetry technology coupled with the availability of spatial data and GIS software have facilitated advancements in species distribution modeling.

Mitigating pseudoreplication and bias in resource selection functions with autocorrelation‐informed weighting

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, 2022
Abstract Resource selection functions (RSFs) are among the most commonly used statistical tools in both basic and applied animal ecology. They are typically parameterized using animal tracking data, and advances in animal tracking technology have led to increasing ...

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 ...

Use of resource selection functions to identify conservation corridors [PDF]

Journal of Applied Ecology, 2009
Summary  Corridors are commonly used to connect fragments of wildlife habitat, yet the identification of conservation corridors typically neglects processes of habitat selection and movement for target organisms. New technologies and analytical tools make it possible to better integrate landscape patterns with behavioural processes.

Modeling broad‐scale patterns of elk summer resource selection in Montana using regional and population‐specific models

Ecosphere, 2022
Understanding animal distribution is important for management of populations and their habitats. Across the western United States, elk (Cervus canadensis) provide important ecological, cultural, and economic benefits and the sound management of their ...

Optimizing cooperative cognitive radio networks with opportunistic access [PDF]

, 2012
Optimal resource allocation for cooperative cognitive radio networks with opportunistic access to the licensed spectrum is studied. Resource allocation is based on minimizing the symbol error rate at the receiver.

Investigating host plant association, calling activity, and sexual dimorphism in Indian Gryllacropsis sp. (Orthoptera: Anostostomatidae)

Ecology and Evolution, 2020
Both sexes of Indian weta Gryllacropsis sp. communicate acoustically. Females lack an external ovipositor making it difficult to differentiate between the sexes in the field.
