Relative Selection Strength: Quantifying effect size in habitat‐ and step‐selection inference
Habitat-selection analysis lacks an appropriate measure of the ecological significance of the statistical estimates-a practical interpretation of the magnitude of the selection coefficients. There is a need for a standard approach that allows relating the strength of selection to a change in habitat conditions across space, a quantification of the estimated effect size that can be compared both...
متن کاملQuantifying spatial habitat loss from hydrocarbon development through assessing habitat selection patterns of mule deer.
Extraction of oil and natural gas (hydrocarbons) from shale is increasing rapidly in North America, with documented impacts to native species and ecosystems. With shale oil and gas resources on nearly every continent, this development is set to become a major driver of global land-use change. It is increasingly critical to quantify spatial habitat loss driven by this development to implement ef...
متن کاملQuantifying the Strength of Natural Selection of a Motif Sequence
Quantification of selective pressures on regulatory sequences is a central question in studying the evolution of gene regulatory networks. Previous methods focus primarily on single sites rather than motif sequences. We propose a method of evaluating the strength of natural selection of a motif from a family of aligned sequences. The method is based on a Poisson process model of neutral sequenc...
متن کاملKidney mass and relative medullary thickness of rodents in relation to habitat, body size, and phylogeny.
We tested the hypotheses that relative medullary thickness (RMT) and kidney mass are positively related to habitat aridity in rodents, after controlling for correlations with body mass. Body mass, mass-corrected kidney mass, mass-corrected RMT, mass-corrected maximum urine concentration, and habitat (scored on a semiquantitative scale of 1-4 to indicate increasing aridity) all showed statistica...
متن کاملHabitat selection in whiting
Given a choice of habitats in a laboratory experiment, whiting Merlangius merlangus preferentially spent most time over sand, then gravel and least time over a habitat with emergent structures. The introduction of a predator stimulus increased the preference for the sand habitat for large whiting, whereas small whiting had an increased preference for the habitat with emergent structures. # 2004...
