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

Habitability is a widely used word in the geoscience, planetary science, and astrobiology
literature, but what does it mean? In this review on habitability, we define it as the ability of …

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

Ecological data often exhibit spatial pattern, which can be modeled as autocorrelation.
Conditional autoregressive (CAR) and simultaneous autoregressive (SAR) models are …

The spatial scale of animal space use, eg measured as individual home range size, is a key
trait with important implications for ecological and evolutionary processes as well as …

Although classical ecological theory (eg, on ideal free consumers) recognizes the potential
effect of population density on the spatial distribution of animals, empirical species …

Context Climate and land-use change have led to disturbance regimes in many ecosystems
without a historical analog, leading to uncertainty about how species adapted to past …

Post‐release monitoring of translocated animals is often used to inform future translocation
protocols. Quantifying habitat selection of translocated individuals may help identify features …

A fundamental challenge in habitat ecology and management is understanding the
mechanisms generating animal distributions. Studies of habitat selection provide a lens into …

Resource selection functions (RSFs) are among the most commonly used statistical tools in
both basic and applied animal ecology. They are typically parameterized using animal …
