Large herbivores play unique ecological roles and are disproportionately imperiled by
human activity. As many wild populations dwindle towards extinction, and as interest grows …

Decapod crustaceans are ecologically and economically important invertebrates but are
vulnerable to anthropogenic pressures and climate change. Understanding their spatial …

Ecologists develop species-habitat association (SHA) models to understand where species
occur, why they are there and where else they might be. This knowledge can be used to …

Extreme weather events perturb ecosystems and increasingly threaten biodiversity.
Ecologists emphasize the need to forecast and mitigate the impacts of these events, which …

Size‐structured differences in resource use stabilize species coexistence in animal
communities, but what behavioral mechanisms underpin these niche differences? Behavior …

Reptiles are the most species-rich terrestrial vertebrate group with a broad diversity of life
history traits. Biotelemetry is an essential methodology for studying reptiles as it …

A rich set of statistical techniques has been developed over the last several decades to
estimate the spatial extent of animal home ranges from telemetry data, and new methods to …

Home range size is a fundamental measure of animal space use, providing insight into
habitat quality, animal density, and social organization. Human impacts increasingly are …

Despite the shared prediction that the width of a population's dietary niche expands as food
becomes limiting, the Niche Variation Hypothesis (NVH) and Optimal Foraging Theory (OFT) …

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 …
