Habitat Selection and Specialisation of Herring Gulls During the Non-breeding Season
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022 Understanding both the distribution and habitat use of populations through the annual cycle is vital to understanding how vulnerable species are to environmental change.

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.

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 ...

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.

Territorial landscapes: incorporating density-dependence into wolf habitat selection studies [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2019 Habitat selection is a process that spans space, time and individual life histories. Ecological analyses of animal distributions and preferences are most accurate when they account for inherent dynamics of the habitat selection process.
