Journal ArticleDOI
Regression and model-building in conservation biology, biogeography and ecology: The distinction between – and reconciliation of – ‘predictive’ and ‘explanatory’ models
TL;DR: In this article, it is suggested that if the two approaches do not agree upon which of the independent variables are likely to be'significant' then the deductions must be subject to doubt.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used a large data set of plants, birds and dung beetles (1,538, 460 and 156 species, respectively) sampled in 36 catchments in the Brazilian state of Para.

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
Multiple regression and inference in ecology and conservation biology: further comments on identifying important predictor variables
TL;DR: It is argued that there are actually two kinds of MR modelling: (1) seeking the best predictive model; and (2) isolating amounts of varianceributable to each predictor variable.
