WEST, Inc. (http://www.west-inc.com) is pleased to support this web site. The goal of this
web site is to provide information on studying resource selection by animals. Research in
this area continues to provide useful information about the resource requirements and
preferences of animals, insects, and even plants. This site is devoted to everything related to resource selection by animals:
"habitat use", "patch occupancy", "utilization distributions", "home range analysis", etc.
This web site is a good place to begin when designing a resource selection study. We
have put together some background information on some of the most common types of study
designs and analyses, as well as access to books, peer-reviewed articles in scientific
journals, and computer programs that could be used to learn more about specific techniques,
applications, and what has been learned by other researchers. This site also posts information
on upcoming workshops, short-courses, and conferences devoted to the study of resource selection by animals.
ResourceSelectionByAnimals.com is a free site and comes with no guarantees or technical
support. However, your input is valuable and you can help keep this page current and
informative. We encourage you to tell us about upcoming events such as workshops,
courses, and conferences, links to other web pages, and help us expand our bibliography section!
You can add citations of papers on resource selection published in scientific journals
to the bibliography database by clicking on the ‘Submit Citation’ button in the drop-down
Bibliography menu at the top of this page. We are continually adding to this database,
so bookmark this page and check it often.
You can also submit software for analyzing animal location and resource selection data, or links to other
sites by clicking on the 'Submit Software' and 'Submit Link' buttons in the drop-down
Software and Links menus.
To request posting information about books not in our list or upcoming events, or inform us of technical problems
with this site please email admin@resourceselectionbyanimals.com.
