Temporal Partitioning and Overlapping Use of a Shared Natural Resource by People and Elephants
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2019 In social-ecological systems around the world, human-wildlife interactions are on the rise, often with negative consequences. This problem is particularly salient in areas where populations of humans and wildlife are increasing and share limited space ...

Nesting habitat selection and distribution of an avian top predator in the Canadian Arctic
Arctic Science, 2018 Detecting and planning for ecosystem changes from climate and land-use alteration is limited by uncertainty about the current distribution of many species.

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.

Estimating a Resource Selection Function With Line Transect Sampling [PDF]
Journal of Applied Mathematics and Decision Sciences, 2002 A resource selection probability function is a function that gives the prob- ability that a resource unit (e.g., a plot of land) that is described by a set of habitat variables X1 to Xp will be used by an animal or group of animals in a certain period of time.

Animals, 2021 Epizootic hemorrhagic disease virus (EHDV) causes serious disease in wild and privately ranched white-tailed deer (Odocoileusvirginianus) in the United States. In Florida, there is high EHDV prevalence, yet no treatments.

Accuracy of resource selection functions across spatial scales
Diversity and Distributions, 2006 ABSTRACTResource selection functions (RSFs) can be used to map suitable habitat of a species based on predicted probability of use. The spatial scale may affect accuracy of such predictions. To provide guidance as to which spatial extent or grain is appropriate and most accurate for animals, we used the concept of hierarchical selection orders to ...

Perch selection of three species of kingfishers at the Pantanal of Brazil
Animal Biodiversity and Conservation, 2023 Selecting a suitable perch can offer many benefits for fish–eating birds such as kingfishers. However, factors affecting perch selection in these species remain poorly studied.

Revisiting resource selection probability functions and single‐visit methods: clarification and extensions [PDF]
Methods in Ecology and Evolution, 2015 SummaryModels accounting for imperfect detection are important. Single‐visit (SV) methods have been proposed as an alternative to multiple‐visit methods to relax the assumption of closed population. Knape & Korner‐Nievergelt (Methods in Ecology and Evolution, 2015) showed that under certain models of probability of detection,SVmethods are ...

Avian Conservation and Ecology, 2022 Global wind-energy development has increased exponentially in recent decades and is expected to double in capacity in Canada by 2040. Wind-farm development has significant implications for wildlife, particularly for raptors, where injury or death from ...

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.
