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.

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

Habitat Selection and Risk of Predation: Re-colonization by Lynx had Limited Impact on Habitat Selection by Roe Deer [PDF]
, 2013 Risk of predation is an evolutionary force that affects behaviors of virtually all animals. In this study, we examined how habitat selection by roe deer was affected by risk of predation by Eurasian lynx - the main predator of roe deer in Scandinavia ...

Moose selection for resource stoichiometry
, 2021 Herbivores consider the variation of forage qualities (nutritional content and digestibility) as well as quantities (biomass) when foraging. Such selection patterns may change based on the scale of foraging, particularly in the case of ungulates that ...

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 ...
