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
Grizzly bear use of open, closed, and restricted forestry roads
TL;DR: The results are inconsistent with the hypothesis that bears select against open, restricted, and closed roads in that order, and the type of human activity along roads plays a role in bear responses to roads, and this aspect should be incorporated into future bear-road studies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Generalizability of songbird habitat models in boreal mixedwood forests of Alberta
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors assess the predictive ability of 16 songbird habitat models developed in the Calling Lake region of the boreal mixedwood forest of Alberta using both internal and external validation approaches.
Journal ArticleDOI
Grizzly bear selection of managed and unmanaged forests in the Selkirk Mountains
TL;DR: The apparent selection againstYoung forests appeared to be due to selection against associated open roads, not against young forests themselves, and Forestry activities alone appeared to have no negative impact on grizzly bear habitat use.
Journal ArticleDOI
