A resource selection function (RSF) is any model that yields values proportional to the probability of use of a resource unit. RSF models often are fitted using generalized linear models (GLMs)… Expand

WOLVES INFLUENCE ELK MOVEMENTS: BEHAVIOR SHAPES A TROPHIC CASCADE IN YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK

D. Fortin, H. Beyer, M. Boyce, D. W. Smith, T. Duchesne, J. Mao
Geography
1 May 2005

A trophic cascade recently has been reported among wolves, elk, and aspen on the northern winter range of Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming, USA, but the mechanisms of indirect interactions within… Expand

Resource Selection Functions Based on Use–Availability Data: Theoretical Motivation and Evaluation Methods

C. J. Johnson, S. Nielsen, E. Merrill, T. McDonald, M. Boyce
Computer Science
1 April 2006

We use logistic regression to estimate a resource selection function (RSF) tied to a use–availability design based on independent samples drawn from used and available resource units. Expand

Population Viability Analysis

M. Boyce
Biology
1992

Population viability analysis (PVA) is a process. It entails evaluation of data and models for a population to anticipate the likelihood that a population will persist for some arbitrarily chosen… Expand

Ecological applications : a publication of the…
1 March 2007

Detailed empirical models predicting both species occurrence and fitness across a landscape are necessary to understand processes related to population persistence. Failure to consider both… Expand

Estimating Uncertainty in Population Growth Rates: Jackknife vs. Bootstrap Techniques

J. S. Meyer, C. Ingersoll, L. McDonald, M. Boyce
Biology
1 October 1986

Although per capita rates of increase (r) have been calculated by population biologists for decades, the inability to estimate uncertainty (variance) associated with r values has until recently… Expand

Global declines of caribou and reindeer

L. S. Vors, M. Boyce
Geography
1 November 2009

Caribou and reindeer herds are declining across their circumpolar range, coincident with increasing arctic temperatures and precipitation, and anthropogenic landscape change. Here, we examine the… Expand

Removing GPS collar bias in habitat selection studies

Mathematics
1 April 2004

Summary 1. Compared to traditional radio-collars, global positioning system (GPS) collars provide finer spatial resolution and collect locations across a broader range of spatial and temporal… Expand

Corridors for Conservation: Integrating Pattern and Process

C. Chetkiewicz, M. Boyce
Computer Science
7 November 2006

We show how resource selection functions can be used to describe habitat suitability with continuous and multivariable metrics and review methods by which animal movement can be quantified, analyzed, and modeled. Expand
