TL;DR: Using a unique GPS-tracking database of 803 individuals across 57 species, it is found that movements of mammals in areas with a comparatively high human footprint were on average one-half to one-third the extent of their movements in area with a low human footprint.
Journal ArticleDOI
Human predators outpace other agents of trait change in the wild
Chris T. Darimont,Stephanie M. Carlson,Michael T. Kinnison,Paul C. Paquet,Thomas E. Reimchen,Christopher C. Wilmers +5 more
TL;DR: It is shown that average phenotypic changes in 40 human-harvested systems are much more rapid than changes reported in studies examining not only natural but also other human-driven perturbations in the wild, outpacing them by >300% and 50%, respectively.
Journal ArticleDOI
LoCoH: Nonparameteric Kernel Methods for Constructing Home Ranges and Utilization Distributions
Wayne M. Getz,Wayne M. Getz,Scott Fortmann-Roe,Paul C. Cross,Andrew J. Lyons,Sadie J. Ryan,Christopher C. Wilmers +6 more
TL;DR: The results demonstrate that LoCoH methods are superior to parametric kernel methods in estimating areas used by animals, excluding unused areas (holes) and, generally, in constructing UDs and HRs arising from the movement of animals influenced by hard boundaries and irregular structures.
Journal ArticleDOI
A local nearest-neighbor convex-hull construction of home ranges and utilization distributions
TL;DR: A new method for estimating the area of home ranges and constructing utilization distributions (UDs) from spatial data is described and a minimum spurious hole covering (MSHC) rule is proposed for selecting k and interpreted in terms of type I and type II statistical errors.
