Resource Selection by Animals - Statistical Design and Analysis for Field Studies (Hardcover, 2nd ed. 2002)

The current literature on resource selection by animals is a maze of methodologies for data collection and interpretation. Field biologists need a guide through the labyrinth. This book provides such a guide. It gives a clear and consistent framework for the study of how animals select their resources (food and habitat) by taking the reader through different types of study design. It is an invaluable handbook for the field biologist, especially those concerned with the management and conservation of wildlife. The authors have clearly identified the need to pull together the diffuse literature, and biologists will greatly improve their experimental design, methodology, and analysis with this book.

The second edition of this popular book has been updated to include many developments in the last few years. There is new material on discrete choice models, the analysis of data from geographical information systems, compositional analysis, Mahalanobis distance methods, and neural networks and related approaches.

Resource Selection by Animals:

• is an invaluable guide for field biologists;
• provides a consistent framework for study of resource selection (food and habitat) by animals;
• is a unique guide, and is the only book which covers this critical topic in such depth; and
• is particularly useful to wildlife managers and conservation biologists.
