Estimating a Resource Selection Function With Line Transect Sampling [PDF]

open access: yesJournal 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.

Home-range habitat selection by Ferruginous Hawks in western Canada: implications for wind-energy conflicts

open access: yesAvian 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 ...

Multi-scale selection models predict breeding habitat for two Arctic-breeding raptor species

open access: yesArctic Science, 2020
Raptors are important environmental indicators because they are apex predators and can be sensitive to disturbance. Few studies have addressed habitat preferences of tundra-nesting raptors, and those that exist have focused on fine-scale characteristics.

The Adaptive Dynamics of Function-valued Traits [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
This study extends the framework of adaptive dynamics to function-valued traits. Such adaptive traits naturally arise in a great variety of settings: variable or heterogeneous environments, age-structured populations, phenotypic plasticity, patterns of ...

Temporal Partitioning and Overlapping Use of a Shared Natural Resource by People and Elephants

open access: yesFrontiers 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 ...
