We have written this book as a guide to the design and analysis of
field studies of resource selection, concentrating primarily on
statistical aspects of the comparison of the use and availability
of resources of different types. Our in tended audience is field
ecologists in general and wildlife biologists in particular who are
attempting to measure the extent to which real animal populations
are selective in their choice of food and habitat. As such, we have
made no attempt to address those aspects of theoretical ecology
that are concerned with how animals might choose their resources if
they acted in an optimal manner. The book is based on the concept
of a resource selection function, where this is a function of
characteristics measured on resource units such that its value for
a unit is proportional to the probability of that unit being used.
We argue that this concept leads to a unified theory for the
analysis and interpretation of data on resource selection and can
replace many ad hoc statistical methods that have been used in the
past."
