TLDR
In this article, a model of landscape components important to Florida panther habitat conservation was created to identify specific regions of the south Florida landscape that are of high conservation value to support a self-sustaining panther population.About:

Estimating landscape resistance to movement: a review
TL;DR: A comprehensive review of the literature on resistance surfaces found a general lack of justification for choice of environmental variables and their thematic and spatial representation, a heavy reliance on expert opinion and detection data, and a tendency to confound movement behavior and resource use.
Journal ArticleDOI
Non‐optimal animal movement in human‐altered landscapes
TL;DR: This synthesis synthesizes the understanding of the relationship between landscape structure and animal movement in human-modified landscapes and develops a hypothesis that predicts the relative importance of the different population-level consequences of these non-optimal movements.

Forks in the Road: Choices in Procedures for Designing Wildland Linkages
TL;DR: This work offers a roadmap of 16 choices and assumptions that arise in designing linkages to facilitate movement or gene flow of focal species between 2 or more predefined wildland blocks and identifies a problem, which is called the subjective translation problem, that arises because the analyst must subjectively decide how to translate measurements of resource selection into resistance.

TL;DR: It is shown that panther numbers increased threefold, genetic heterozygosity doubled, survival and fitness measures improved, and inbreeding correlates declined significantly, although these results are encouraging, continued habitat loss, persistent inbreeding, infectious agents, and possible habitat saturation pose new dilemmas.

A land use and land cover classification system for use with remote sensor data
TL;DR: The framework of a national land use and land cover classification system is presented for use with remote sensor data and uses the features of existing widely used classification systems that are amenable to data derived from re-mote sensing sources.
Journal ArticleDOI
Kernel methods for estimating the utilization distribution in home-range studies
TL;DR: Kernel methods are of flexible form and can be used where simple parametric models are found to be inappropriate or difficult to specify and give alternative approaches to the Anderson (1982) Fourier transform methods.
Journal ArticleDOI
Compositional Analysis of Habitat Use From Animal Radio-Tracking Data
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors advocate proportional habitat use by individual animals as a basis for analysis and use compositional analysis of such nonstandard multivariate data for analysis of habitat use based on radiotagged animals.

Effects of sample size on kernel home range estimates
D.E. Seaman,Joshua J. Millspaugh,Brian J. Kernohan,Gary C. Brundige,Kenneth J. Raedeke,Robert A. Gitzen +5 more
TL;DR: It is recommended that home range studies using kernel estimates use LSCV to determine the amount of smoothing, obtain a minimum of 30 observations per animal (but preferably >50), and report sample sizes in published results.

Radio tracking and animal populations
TL;DR: This book is divided into sections designed to encompass the various aspects of animal ecology that may be evaluated using radiotelemetry technology - experimental design, equipment and technology, animal movement, resource selection, and demographics.
