Conceptual and methodological advances in habitat‐selection modeling: guidelines for ecology and evolution
Habitat selection is a fundamental animal behavior that shapes a wide range of ecological
processes, including animal movement, nutrient transfer, trophic dynamics and population …

What do we know (and need to know) about the role of urban habitats as ecological traps? Systematic review and meta-analysis
Urban areas represent a spectrum that goes from being safe habitats for biodiversity (ie,
habitats more or equally preferred, without costs to fitness) to being ecological traps (ie …

Integrated step selection analysis: bridging the gap between resource selection and animal movement
A resource selection function is a model of the likelihood that an available spatial unit will be
used by an animal, given its resource value. But how do we appropriately define …

Is there a correlation between abundance and environmental suitability derived from ecological niche modelling? A meta‐analysis
MM Weber, RD Stevens, JAF Diniz‐Filho… - Ecography, 2017 - Wiley Online Library
It is thought that species abundance is correlated with environmental suitability and that
environmental variables, scale, and type of model fitting can confound this relationship. We …

Relative selection strength: Quantifying effect size in habitat‐and step‐selection inference
Habitat‐selection analysis lacks an appropriate measure of the ecological significance of the
statistical estimates—a practical interpretation of the magnitude of the selection coefficients …

Wild boar mapping using population-density statistics: From polygons to high resolution raster maps
C Pittiglio, S Khomenko, D Beltran-Alcrudo - PloS one, 2018 - journals.plos.org
The wild boar is an important crop raider as well as a reservoir and agent of spread of swine
diseases. Due to increasing densities and expanding ranges worldwide, the related …

Habitat selection patterns are density dependent under the ideal free distribution
Despite being widely used, habitat selection models are rarely reliable and informative
when applied across different ecosystems or over time. One possible explanation is that …

Combining human acceptance and habitat suitability in a unified socio‐ecological suitability model: A case study of the wolf in Switzerland
Habitat suitability models (HSMs) are commonly used in conservation practise to assess the
potential of an area to be occupied and colonised. A major limitation of these models …

Integrated population modeling provides the first empirical estimates of vital rates and abundance for polar bears in the Chukchi Sea
Large carnivores are imperiled globally, and characteristics making them vulnerable to
extinction (eg, low densities and expansive ranges) also make it difficult to estimate …

Density‐dependent habitat selection alters drivers of population distribution in northern Yellowstone elk
Although it is well established that density dependence drives changes in organismal
abundance over time, relatively little is known about how density dependence affects …
