Habitat selection is a fundamental animal behavior that shapes a wide range of ecological
processes, including animal movement, nutrient transfer, trophic dynamics and population …

We propose research to fill key gaps in the areas of population and community ecology,
based on a National Science Foundation workshop identifying funding priorities for the next …

They may influence us as individuals by their encouragement and guidance; they may affect
their community through their untiring commitment to service and the greater good; or they …

Habitat selection is the disproportionate use of available conditions and resources, and
involves responses in space and time to perceived risks and rewards. It frequently depends …

Resource selection functions (RSFs) are statistical models defined to be proportional to the
probability of use of a resource unit. My objective with this review is to identify how RSFs can …

Understanding the effects of scale is essential to the understanding of natural ecosystems,
particularly in marine environments where sampling is more limited and sporadic than in …

National parks are important for conservation of species such as wolves (Canis lupus) and
elk (Cervus canadensis). However, topography, vegetation conditions, and anthropogenic …

While migration is hypothesized to reduce predation risk for ungulates, there have been few
direct empirical tests of this hypothesis. Furthermore, few studies examined multiscale …

Mechanisms that affect the spatial distribution of animals are typically scale‐dependent and
may involve forage distribution. Forage quality and quantity are often inversely correlated …

Multi-scale studies ostensibly allow us to form generalizations regarding the importance of
scale in understanding ecosystem function, and in the application of the same ecological …
