Habitat selection models frequently use data collected from a small geographic area over short window of time to extrapolate patterns relative abundance into unobserved areas or periods time. However, such often poorly predict the distribution animal space‐use intensity beyond place and collection, presumably because behaviors vary between individuals environmental contexts. Similarly, ecological inference based on habitat could be muddied biased due unaccounted individual context...
Fine particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter of less than 2.5 µm (PM2.5) is highly variable in space and time. In this study, the dynamics PM2.5 concentrations were mapped at high spatio-temporal resolutions using bicycle-based, mobile measures on a university campus. Significant diurnal daily variations revealed over two-week survey, concentration peaking during evening rush hours. A range predictor variables that have been proven useful estimating pollution level was derived from...
Seasonal migration is a behavioral response to predictable variation in environmental resources, risks, and conditions. In behaviorally plastic migrants, conditional strategy that depends, part, on an individual’s informational state. The cognitive processes underlie how facultative migrants understand respond their environment are not well understood. We compared perception of the present memory omniscience as competing mechanisms driving altitudinal migratory decisions endangered ungulate,...
<title>Abstract</title> 1. As human activity increases worldwide, many ecologists have focused on how anthropogenic linear features (ALFs) such as roads and fences impact disrupt animal space-use behavior this disruption could potentially affect population viability. The properties of an animal’s occurrence distribution (OD), namely its size, shape, habitat associations, reflect the balance costs benefits thus can act indirect indicators behavioral optimality. Measuring deviations from...
Species distribution and habitat selection models frequently use data collected from a small geographic area over short window of time to extrapolate patterns relative abundance unobserved areas or periods time. However, these types often poorly predict how animals will beyond the place collection because space-use behaviors vary between individuals are context-dependent. Here, we present modelling workflow advance predictive performance by explicitly accounting for individual variability in...
