Journal ArticleDOI
Cross-validation strategies for data with temporal, spatial, hierarchical, or phylogenetic structure
David R. Roberts,Volker Bahn,Simone Ciuti,Mark S. Boyce,Jane Elith,Gurutzeta Guillera-Arroita,Severin Hauenstein,José J. Lahoz-Monfort,Boris Schröder,Wilfried Thuiller,David I. Warton,Brendan A. Wintle,Florian Hartig,Florian Hartig,Carsten F. Dormann +14 more
TL;DR: It is recommended that block cross-validation be used wherever dependence structures exist in a dataset, even if no correlation structure is visible in the fitted model residuals, or if the fitted models account for such correlations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Applications of step-selection functions in ecology and conservation
TL;DR: It is suggested that SSFs could be integrated with state-space models to classify behavioural states when estimating SSFs, as well as to highlight weak features of this modelling approach that should be developed by further research.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of Humans on Behaviour of Wildlife Exceed Those of Natural Predators in a Landscape of Fear
Simone Ciuti,Joseph M. Northrup,Tyler B. Muhly,Silvia Simi,Marco Musiani,Justin A. Pitt,Mark S. Boyce +6 more
TL;DR: In a human-dominated landscape, effects of human disturbance on elk behaviour exceed those of habitat and natural predators and should be a primary focus for future researches.
Journal ArticleDOI
Human selection of elk behavioural traits in a landscape of fear.
Simone Ciuti,Tyler B. Muhly,Dale G. Paton,Allan D. McDevitt,Allan D. McDevitt,Marco Musiani,Mark S. Boyce +6 more
TL;DR: Monitoring elk with satellite telemetry tested whether individuals harvested by hunters adopted less favourable behaviours than elk that survived the hunting season, finding that human hunting could evoke exploitation-induced evolutionary change, which might oppose adaptive responses to natural and sexual selection.
Journal ArticleDOI
Model averaging in ecology: a review of Bayesian, information-theoretic, and tactical approaches for predictive inference

TL;DR: In this article, the authors review the mathematical foundations of model averaging along with the diversity of approaches available and stress the importance of non-parametric methods such as cross-validation for a reliable uncertainty quantification of model-averaged predictions.
