Journal ArticleDOI
Evaluating resource selection functions
TL;DR: A form of k -fold cross validation for evaluating prediction success is proposed for presence/available RSF models, which involves calculating the correlation between RSF ranks and area-adjusted frequencies for a withheld sub-sample of data.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Six major themes in the ecology and conservation of landscapes are assessed, including recognizing the importance of landscape mosaics, recognizing interactions between vegetation cover and vegetation configuration, and 13 important issues that need to be considered in developing approaches to landscape conservation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Habitat loss and fragmentation in dynamic landscapes: avian perspectives from the boreal forest*
TL;DR: In this article, the authors reviewed the empirical evidence for true fragmentation effects in boreal bird communities in Fennoscandia and Canada, and concluded that most responses may be attributed to pure habitat loss in landscapes where forest harvesting is the dominant land use practice.
Journal ArticleDOI
Transcending scale dependence in identifying habitat with resource selection functions
Nicholas J. DeCesare,Mark Hebblewhite,Fiona K. A. Schmiegelow,David Hervieux,Gregory J. McDermid,Lalenia Neufeld,Mark Bradley,Jesse Whittington,Kirby G. Smith,Luigi E. Morgantini,Matthew Wheatley,Marco Musiani +11 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that a single SRSF can be applied to predict relative habitat suitability at both local and landscape scales in support of critical habitat identification and species recovery.
Journal ArticleDOI
Gap dynamics in boreal aspen stands: is the forest older than we think?
TL;DR: In this article, the authors surveyed for canopy gaps in 44-67 yr old aspen stands in northeastern Alberta, Canada, and found that expanded gaps occupy 3.6-16.6% of stand area, increasing linearly with stand age over the sampled range.
