Integrating individual tracking data and spatial surveys to improve estimation of animal spatial distribution by Valentin Lauret, Nicolas Courbin, Olivier Scher, Aurélien Besnard

“…Here, we showcased how to combine individual tracking and count data to estimate habitat selection at the population level. We developed an integrated model that provides a joint estimation of habitat selection for tracking data fitted with a resource selection function (RSF) and count data fitted with a Poisson generalized linear model (GLM), both respecting the statistical conditions for converging with an inhomogeneous Poisson point process. …”

Spatial behavior of mesocarnivores living in seasonal ecosystems: A case study in arid landscapes in northern-central Chile by Darío Moreira-Arce, Pablo M. Vergara, Alex Oporto, Alberto J. Alaniz, Claudia Hidalgo-Corrotea, Alfredo H. Zúñiga, Alejo Gutiérrez, Sebastián Moreno, Daniela Araya, Simone Ciuti

“…Home ranges and Resource Selection Functions were fitted to the GPS data of seven foxes tracked year-round and related to ecological landscape and site-level attributes derived from remote sensing. …”
