Evaluating habitat selection of François’ langur in the karst mountains of China: Implications for conservation strategies by Jialiang Han, Xing Fan, Guy Michael Williams, Qixian Zou, Bingnan Dong

“…Using species presence data and environmental variables, we analyzed habitat selection through a resource selection function (RSF). Significant habitat differences were found between distribution and control sites. …”

To Hunt or Patrol? Social Composition and Location Mediate Scent Marking Decisions of a Large Carnivore by K. Whitney Hansen, Neil R. Jordan, Megan J. Claase, J. W. McNutt, Alan Wilson, Christopher C. Wilmers

“…Specifically, we used resource selection function frameworks to determine how and whether conspecifics influenced habitat selection and behavior at multiple orders of selection. …”

Density‐dependent responses of moose to hunting and landscape change by Mateen Hessami, Robert Serrouya, Clayton T. Lamb, Melanie Dickie, Adam T. Ford

“…The latter data series spanned 1961–2020 and informed the resource selection function and calculations for our first research objective as well as the predictive modelling for our second research objective. …”

Deviance from truth: Telemetry location errors erode both precision and accuracy of habitat‐selection models by Andrea T. Morehouse, Mark S. Boyce

“…Specifically, we compare how differences in precision between GPS and Argos satellite technologies affect the estimation of resource selection functions (RSFs). We estimated RSF models from GPS and Argos satellite radiocollar data collected in December 2008 through April 2009 from wolves within the same pack in southwestern Alberta, Canada, and used Akaike's Information Criterion (AIC) to identify the most parsimonious models. …”

The influence of a conservation‐based grazing program on greater sage‐grouse habitat selection by Jennifer E. Helm, Elizabeth G. Simpson, Lorelle I. Berkeley, Mark Szczypinski, Shea P. Coons, Victoria J. Dreitz

“…As part of a decade‐long study (2011–2019) of 486 adult female sage‐grouse in central Montana, we investigated how a conservation‐based grazing program (CGP) affected greater sage‐grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) habitat selection at two temporal scales: (a) the seasonal scale (four biologically relevant seasons) and (b) the annual scale. We used resource selection functions to assess sage‐grouse selection for pastures enrolled in a CGP as well as plant functional type and topography. …”

Using multiple scales of movement to highlight risk–reward strategies of coyotes (Canis latrans) in mixed‐use landscapes by Amy Van Scoyoc, Kendall L. Calhoun, Justin S. Brashares

“…Here, we examined how anthropogenic and natural features influenced coyote (Canis latrans) habitat selection in a mixed‐use, agricultural landscape in Mendocino County, California, USA. We used resource selection functions and hidden Markov models to test whether coyote selection for anthropogenic and natural features varied by time of day or by behavioral state (resting, foraging, and traveling). …”

Hierarchy in Structuring of Resource Selection: Understanding Elk Selection Across Space, Time, and Movement Strategies by Storm Crews, Nathaniel D. Rayl, Mathew W. Alldredge, Eric J. Bergman, Chuck R. Anderson Jr., Eric H. VanNatta, Joseph D. Holbrook, Guillaume Bastille‐Rousseau

“…We modeled fine‐scale seasonal resource selection and compared strategy‐specific behaviors using resource selection functions. Additionally, we used a consistency score to quantify the extent of differentiation in resource selection behavior across strategies, seasons, herds, and groups of covariates. …”
