Mixed conditional logistic regression for habitat selection studies
TL;DR: This work uses spatially explicit models to illustrate how mixed-effects RSFs can be useful in the presence of inter-individual heterogeneity in selection and when the assumption of independence from irrelevant alternatives (IIA) is violated, and demonstrates the significance of mixed conditional logistic regression for habitat selection studies.

Landscape management for woodland caribou: the protection of forest blocks influences wolf-caribou co-occurrence
TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated the species-specific responses of caribou and wolves to a management plan in Quebec, and assessed its impact on the probability of wolf-caribou co-occurrence.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the space use and habitat selection of GPS-collared zebras Equus quagga from 2 to 48 hours after an encounter with lions Panthera leo.
Logging-induced changes in habitat network connectivity shape behavioral interactions in the wolf–caribou–moose system
TL;DR: This work used graph theory to evaluate how harvesting-induced changes in habitat connectivity influence patch choice and residency time of GPS-collared caribou and moose in winter in the boreal forest and built prey habitat networks using minimum planar graphs organized around species-specific, highly selected habitat patches.

TL;DR: An advection-diffusion model based on basic movement behavior commonly observed in animal populations is developed and parameterize the model from observations on radio-collared caribou in a boreal ecosystem, showing that distance-dependent movement taxis can skew abundance distributions toward disturbed areas.
