Journal ArticleDOI
Terrestrial animal tracking as an eye on life and planet
Roland Kays,Roland Kays,Roland Kays,Margaret C. Crofoot,Margaret C. Crofoot,Margaret C. Crofoot,Walter Jetz,Walter Jetz,Martin Wikelski,Martin Wikelski,Martin Wikelski +10 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that a golden age of animal tracking science has begun and that the upcoming years will be a time of unprecedented exciting discoveries.
Journal ArticleDOI
Analyzing animal movements using Brownian bridges.
TL;DR: A Brownian bridge movement model for estimating the expected movement path of an animal, using discrete location data obtained at relatively short time intervals is developed, based on the properties of a conditional random walk between successive pairs of locations.
Journal ArticleDOI
At-sea distribution and scale-dependent foraging behaviour of petrels and albatrosses: a comparative study.
David Pinaud,Henri Weimerskirch +1 more
TL;DR: This study demonstrates that predators of several species adjust their foraging behaviour to the heterogeneous environment and these scale-dependent movement adjustments depend on both forager and environment characteristics.

TL;DR: In this paper, the genetic and geographic distance matrices were used to identify two statistically significant barriers for the 23 subpopulations of the Finnish and all other sub-populations.

Estimating space-use and habitat preference from wildlife telemetry data
TL;DR: This work proposes a logistic, mixed-effects approach that uses generalized additive transformations of the environmental covariates and is fitted to a response data-set comprising the telemetry and simulated observations, under a case-control design, and concludes that flexible empirical models can capture the environmental relationships that shape population distributions.

R: A Language for Data Analysis and Graphics
Ross Ihaka,Robert Gentleman +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss their experience designing and implementing a statistical computing language, which combines what they felt were useful features from two existing computer languages, and they feel that the new language provides advantages in the areas of portability, computational efficiency, memory management, and scope.
Journal ArticleDOI
Predictive habitat distribution models in ecology
TL;DR: A review of predictive habitat distribution modeling is presented, which shows that a wide array of models has been developed to cover aspects as diverse as biogeography, conservation biology, climate change research, and habitat or species management.
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.

Resource Selection by Animals : Statistical design and analysis for field studies
TL;DR: This paper presents a meta-modelling procedure for estimating a resource selection probability function from a census of resource units using logistic regression and discriminant function methods and its applications in resource selection and resource selectory studies.
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.
