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. …”
