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.

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.

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 ...

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 ...

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

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 ...

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.

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Pediatric radiation therapy presents unique challenges compared to adult treatments, including those of immobilization, potential need for sedation, and the critical importance of accurate, reproducible positioning. Additionally, heightened attention to imaging doses is necessary to minimize long‐term toxicity in survivors.
