Context Scale is the lens that focuses ecological relationships. Organisms select habitat at
multiple hierarchical levels and at different spatial and/or temporal scales within each level …

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

Recent progress in positioning technology facilitates the collection of massive amounts of
sequential spatial data on animals. This has led to new opportunities and challenges when …

To understand modern principles of sustainable management and the conservation of
wildlife species requires intimate knowledge about demography, animal behavior, and …

Long-distance terrestrial migrations are imperiled globally. We determined both round-trip
migration distances (straight-line measurements between migratory end points) and total …

Across Canada, woodland caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou (Gmelin, 1788)) populations
are declining because of human-induced changes to food webs that are resulting in …

Ecologists develop species-habitat association (SHA) models to understand where species
occur, why they are there and where else they might be. This knowledge can be used to …

Nowhere across Canada is the continued persistence of woodland caribou (Rangifer
tarandus caribou (Gmelin, 1788)) more uncertain than in Alberta due to widespread …

A central assumption underlying the study of habitat selection is that selected habitats confer
enhanced fitness. Unfortunately, this assumption is rarely tested, and in some systems …

Estimating landscape resistance to animal movement is the foundation for connectivity
modeling, and resource selection functions based on point data are commonly used to …
