Describing distribution and abundance is requisite to exploring interactions between
organisms and their environment. Recently, the resource selection function (RSF) has …

Over the past decade the number of statistical modelling tools available to ecologists to
model species' distributions has increased at a rapid pace (eg Elith et al. 2006; Austin 2007) …

The treeline ecotone divides forest from open alpine or arctic vegetation states. Treelines
are generally perceived to be temperature limited. The role of herbivores in limiting the …

Megafauna assemblages have declined or disappeared throughout much of the world, and
many efforts are underway to restore them. Understanding the trophic ecology of such …

Although it is well established that density dependence drives changes in organismal
abundance over time, relatively little is known about how density dependence affects …

Deer (Cervidae) populations are increasing across the temperate zone, threatening forest
biodiversity and ecosystem services. However, the fundamental question of what factors …

The discussion about the impact of pastoralists on ecosystems has been profoundly shaped
by Hardin's tragedy of the commons that held pastoralists responsible for overgrazing the …

Density is a fundamental driver of many ecological processes including habitat selection.
Theory on density‐dependent habitat selection predicts that animals should be distributed …

Habitat selection can be influenced by the distribution of the habitat types in the landscape
as well as net gain in visiting patches of resources, causing individual variation in habitat …

Herbivores shape plant communities through selective foraging. However, both herbivore
selectivity and the plant's ability to tolerate or resist herbivory may depend on the density of …
