The interpretation of habitat preference metrics under use–availability designs
Models of habitat preference are widely used to quantify animal–habitat relationships, to
describe and predict differential space use by animals, and to identify habitat that is …

Estimating space‐use and habitat preference from wildlife telemetry data
Management and conservation of populations of animals requires information on where they
are, why they are there, and where else they could be. These objectives are typically …

Trade‐offs between predation risk and forage differ between migrant strategies in a migratory ungulate
Trade‐offs between predation risk and forage fundamentally drive resource selection by
animals. Among migratory ungulates, trade‐offs can occur at large spatial scales through …

Ungulate preference for burned patches reveals strength of fire–grazing interaction
The interactions between fire and grazing are widespread throughout fire‐dependent
landscapes. The utilization of burned areas by grazing animals establishes the fire–grazing …

Corridors for conservation: integrating pattern and process
Corridors are commonly used to connect fragments of wildlife habitat, yet the identification of
conservation corridors typically neglects processes of habitat selection and movement for …

Temporal scales, trade‐offs, and functional responses in red deer habitat selection
Animals selecting habitats often have to consider many factors, eg, food and cover for safety.
However, each habitat type often lacks an adequate mixture of these factors. Analyses of …
