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.
