Habitat selection is a fundamental animal behavior that shapes a wide range of ecological
processes, including animal movement, nutrient transfer, trophic dynamics and population …

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 …

Habitat‐selection analyses allow researchers to link animals to their environment via habitat‐
selection or step‐selection functions, and are commonly used to address questions related …

Popular frameworks for studying habitat selection include resource‐selection functions
(RSFs) and step‐selection functions (SSFs), estimated using logistic and conditional logistic …

Abstract Space‐use behaviour reflects trade‐offs in meeting ecological needs and can have
consequences for individual survival and population demographics. The mechanisms …

We have written this book as a guide to the design and analysis of field studies of resource
selection, concentrating primarily on statistical aspects of the comparison of the use and …

A resource selection function (RSF) is any model that yields values proportional to the
probability of use of a resource unit. RSF models often are fitted using generalized linear …

Retaining the introductory flavor of the now classic First Edition, this revision includes all the
latest techniques in the field. New information on methods of radio tag harnessing, new …

Habitat‐selection analysis lacks an appropriate measure of the ecological significance of the
statistical estimates—a practical interpretation of the magnitude of the selection coefficients …

Summary 1 Resource selection estimated by logistic regression is used increasingly in
studies to identify critical resources for animal populations and to predict species …
