GPS Bias Correction and Habitat Selection by Mountain Goats
In Washington State, USA, mountain goats (Oreamnos americanus) have experienced a long-term population decline. To assist management, we created annual and seasonal (summer and winter) habitat models based on 2 years of data collected from 38 GPS-collared (GPS plus collar v6, Vectronic-Aerospace GmbH, Berlin, Germany) mountain goats in the western Cascades. To address GPS bias of position acqui...
متن کاملHabitat Selection of Rocky Mountain Elk in a Nonforested Environment
Recent expansions by Rocky Mountain elk (Cervus elaphus) into nonforested habitats across the Intermountain West have required managers to reconsider the traditional paradigms of forage and cover as they relate to managing elk and their habitats. We examined seasonal habitat selection patterns of a hunted elk population in a nonforested high-desert region of southwestern Wyoming, USA. We used 3...
متن کاملSelection silvicultural systems in mountain caribou habitat: Logging and learning at Pinkerton Mountain
Experimentation with the selection silvicultural system in the Engelmann Spruce-Subalpine Fir (ESSF) Zone of east-central British Columbia began nearly ten years ago. The initial impetus for partial cutting came from concerns about specific nontimber resources, such as scenic values, water quality for domestic use, and habitat for mountain caribou (Rangifer tarandus). A set of first-generation ...
متن کاملLinking seasonal home range size with habitat selection and movement in a mountain ungulate
Background Space use by animals is determined by the interplay between movement and the environment, and is thus mediated by habitat selection, biotic interactions and intrinsic factors of moving individuals. These processes ultimately determine home range size, but their relative contributions and dynamic nature remain less explored. We investigated the role of habitat selection, movement unre...
متن کاملHabitat selection in whiting
Given a choice of habitats in a laboratory experiment, whiting Merlangius merlangus preferentially spent most time over sand, then gravel and least time over a habitat with emergent structures. The introduction of a predator stimulus increased the preference for the sand habitat for large whiting, whereas small whiting had an increased preference for the habitat with emergent structures. # 2004...
