In search of the best methods for multivariate selection analysisMethods in Ecology and Evolution - Tập 5 Số 10 - Trang 1095-1109 - 2014
Michael B. Morrissey
SummaryRegression is an important method for characterizing the form of natural selection from individual‐based data. Many kinds of regression analysis exist, but few are regularly employed in studies of natural selection. I provide an overview of some of the main underused types of regression analysis by applying them to test ana...... hiện toàn bộ
Quantifying the strength of migratory connectivityMethods in Ecology and Evolution - Tập 9 Số 3 - Trang 513-524 - 2018
Emily B. Cohen, Jeffrey A. Hostetler, Michael T. Hallworth, Clark S. Rushing, T. Scott Sillett, Peter P. Marra
Abstract
Technological advancements have spurred rapid growth in the study of migratory connectivity, the linkage of individuals and populations between seasons of the annual cycle. The strength of migratory connectivity is a measure of the co‐occurrence of populations throughout the annual cycle and can be represented by a cor...... hiện toàn bộ
Inferring individual fate from aquatic acoustic telemetry dataMethods in Ecology and Evolution - Tập 11 Số 10 - Trang 1186-1198 - 2020
David Villegas‐Ríos, Carla Freitas, Even Moland, Susanna Huneide Thorbjørnsen, Esben Moland Olsen
AbstractAcoustic telemetry has become a popular means of obtaining individual behavioural data from a wide array of species in marine and freshwater systems. Fate information is crucial to understand important aspects of population dynamics such as mortality, predation or dispersal rates.<...... hiện toàn bộ
Distribution, demography and dispersal model of spatial spread of invasive plant populations with limited dataMethods in Ecology and Evolution - Tập 6 Số 7 - Trang 782-794 - 2015
Vanessa M. Adams, Aaron M. Petty, Michael M. Douglas, Yvonne M. Buckley, Keith B. Ferdinands, Toshio Okazaki, Dongwook W. Ko, Samantha A. Setterfield
Summary
Invasive weeds are a major cause of biodiversity loss and economic damage world‐wide. There is often a limited understanding of the biology of emerging invasive species, but delay in action may result in escalating costs of control, reduced economic returns from management actions and decreased feasibility of management....... hiện toàn bộ
Testing the significance of canonical axes in redundancy analysisMethods in Ecology and Evolution - Tập 2 Số 3 - Trang 269-277 - 2011
Pierre Legendre, Jari Oksanen, Cajo J. F. ter Braak
Summary 1. Tests of significance of the individual canonical axes in redundancy analysis allow researchers to determine which of the axes represent variation that can be distinguished from random. Variation along the significant axes can be mapped, used to draw biplots or interpreted through subsequent analyses, whilst the nonsignificant axes...... hiện toàn bộ
Quantifying fixed individual heterogeneity in demographic parameters: Performance of correlated random effects for Bernoulli variablesMethods in Ecology and Evolution - Tập 13 Số 1 - Trang 91-104 - 2022
Rémi Fay, Matthieu Authier, Sandra Hamel, Stéphanie Jenouvrier, Martijn van de Pol, Emmanuelle Cam, Jean‐Michel Gaillard, Nigel G. Yoccoz, Paul Acker, Andrew M. Allen, Lise M. Aubry, Christophe Bonenfant, Hal Caswell, Christophe F. D. Coste, Benjamin Larue, Christie Le Cœur, Marlène Gamelon, Kaitlin R. Macdonald, María Moirón, Alex Nicol‐Harper, Fanie Pelletier, Jay J. Rotella, Céline Teplitsky, Laura Touzot, Caitlin P. Wells, Bernt‐Erik Sæther
Abstract
An increasing number of empirical studies aim to quantify individual variation in demographic parameters because these patterns are key for evolutionary and ecological processes. Advanced approaches to estimate individual heterogeneity are now using a multivariate normal distribution with correlated individual random ef...... hiện toàn bộ
Habitat structure modifies microclimate: An approach for mapping fine‐scale thermal refugeMethods in Ecology and Evolution - Tập 9 Số 6 - Trang 1648-1657 - 2018
Charlotte R. Milling, Janet L. Rachlow, Peter J. Olsoy, Mark A. Chappell, Timothy R. Johnson, Jennifer S. Forbey, Lisa A. Shipley, Daniel H. Thornton
Abstract
Contemporary techniques predicting habitat suitability under climate change projections often underestimate availability of thermal refuges. Habitat structure contributes to thermal heterogeneity at a variety of spatial scales, but quantifying microclimates at organism‐relevant resolutions remains a challenge. Landscape...... hiện toàn bộ
Overcoming limitations of modelling rare species by using ensembles of small modelsMethods in Ecology and Evolution - Tập 6 Số 10 - Trang 1210-1218 - 2015
Frank T. Breiner, Antoine Guisan, Ariel Bergamini, Michael P. Nobis
SummarySpecies distribution models (SDMs) have become a standard tool in ecology and applied conservation biology. Modelling rare and threatened species is particularly important for conservation purposes. However, modelling rare species is difficult because the combina...... hiện toàn bộ
