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
Sampling period, size and duration influence measures of bat species richness from acoustic surveysMethods in Ecology and Evolution - Tập 3 Số 3 - Trang 490-502 - 2012
Samuel L. Skalak, Richard E. Sherwin, R. Mark Brigham
Summary1. Understanding animal ecology depends on an ability to accurately inventory species. However, there are few quantitative data available, which allow for an assessment of the effectiveness of acoustic sampling methods for determining bat species richness.2. We assessed inventory efficiency, de...... hiện toàn bộ
An efficient method to exploit LiDAR data in animal ecologyMethods in Ecology and Evolution - Tập 9 Số 4 - Trang 893-904 - 2018
Simone Ciuti, Henriette Tripke, Peter Antkowiak, Ramiro Silveyra González, Carsten F. Dormann, Marco Heurich
Abstract
Light detection and ranging (LiDAR) technology provides ecologists with high‐resolution data on three‐dimensional vegetation structure. Large LiDAR datasets challenge predictive ecologists, who com...... 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
The influence of environmental parameters on the performance and detection range of acoustic receiversMethods in Ecology and Evolution - Tập 7 Số 7 - Trang 825-835 - 2016

Summary
Acoustic telemetry is being increasingly used to study the ecology of many aquatic organisms. This widespread use has been advanced by national and international tracking programs that coordinate deployment of passive acoustic telemetry networks on a regional and continental scale to detect tagged animals. While it is we...... hiện toàn bộ
