Habitat selection and spatial personalities of Belizean white-tailed deer
… and spatial personality. We live-captured and GPS-collared 13 white-tailed deer to obtain fine-scale movement data (2-hour fix rate). We combined GPS collar data with remotely sensed landscape data and predator activity using camera traps to quantify how the environment shapes deer movement. We …

Driving giants: spatial and temporal variables influencing giraffe movements in a private protected area
… daily energy requirements. This study uses GPS collar data collected over two years from simultaneously collared lions and giraffes in a private game reserve in South Africa's North West Province, the !Khamab Kalahari Nature Reserve. Using this data, t-LoCoH home ranges were calculated to …

A Geospatial Approach to Wildlife and Wilderness Management
… Kenai Mountains of South-Central Alaska. Using GPS collared locations data, these models produce parameter estimates similar to discrete choice models, popular in resource selection studies, but with less computational complexity. The potential serial (or spatial) correlations present in the …

Determination of Habitat Preferences of Pronghorn (Antilocapra americana) on the Rolling Plains of Texas Using GIS and Remote Sensing
… on the ranch, pronghorn were fitted with GPS/VHF collars and were released into pastures surrounded by a variety of fences to determine how fence types affected habitat selection. Habitat parameters chosen for analysis were vegetation, elevation, slope, aspect, and distances to water, …

Wolf Selection of Human-Modified Linear Features and Cover Types When Hunting and Killing White-Tailed Deer Fawns
… 20-min-fix-interval Global Positioning System (GPS) collars and searched clusters of GPS-locations to identify where wolves killed fawns. I identified 217 wolf-killed fawns from 12 wolves. I then created 4 models to predict where wolves hunted and killed deer fawns, whether wolves killed fawns …

Conservation of endemic species in China
… I applied field sign survey, vegetation survey, GPS collar tracking, and species distribution modeling to study how the livestock grazing impacts the habitat use of giant pandas. This study shows that livestock grazing especially from horses has caused a dramatic decline in bamboos and reduced …
