Spatial Niche Segregation of Sympatric Stone Marten and Pine Marten – Avoidance of Competition or Selection of Optimal Habitat?
Coexistence of ecologically similar species relies on differences in one or more dimensions of their ecological niches, such as space, time and resources in diel and/or seasonal scales. However, niche differentiation may result from other mechanisms such as avoidance of high predation pressure, different adaptations or requirements of ecologically similar species. Stone marten (Martes foina) an...
متن کاملEscort–Husimi distributions, Fisher information and nonextensivity
We evaluate generalized information measures constructed with Husimi distributions and connect them with the Wehrl entropy, on the one hand, and with thermal uncertainty relations, on the other one. The concept of escort distribution plays a central role in such a study. A new interpretation concerning the meaning of the nonextensivity index q is thereby provided. A physical lower bound for q i...
متن کاملHabitat-mediated variation in predation risk by the American marten.
The probability of prey encounter, attack, capture, and kill are often hypothesized to depend on habitat structure, but field evidence in terrestrial systems is rare. We tested whether predation efficiency by the American marten (Martes americana) and fear of predation by their primary prey, the red-backed vole (Clethrionomys gapperi), differed between 20- to 50-year-old regenerating forest sta...
متن کاملFisher Information in Weighted Distributions
Standard inference procedures assume a random sample from a population with density fθ(x) for estimating the parameter θ. However, there are many applications in which the available data are a biased sample instead. Fisher modeled biased sampling using a weight function w(x) ≥ 0, and constructed a weighted distribution with a density f θ (x) that is proportional to w(x)fθ(x). In this paper, we ...
متن کاملForest Thinning Changes Movement Patterns and Habitat Use by Pacific Marten
Simplifying stand structure to reduce fuel density is a high priority for forest managers; however, affects to Pacific marten (Martes caurina) movement and connectivity are unknown. We evaluated whether thinning forests to reduce fuels influenced movements of Pacific marten. We collected movement paths from 22 martens using global positioning system telemetry to evaluate habitat selection and d...
