Foraging dynamics of seabirds in the Eastern tropical pacific ocean (2007, methodology): “To accomplish this, we used generalized additive models (GAMs; Hastie and Tibshirani 1990) and the software and analytical procedure of Clarke et al. (2003) implemented using S-Plus (S-Plus 1997).”
Species distribution models and ecological theory: A critical assessment and some possible new approaches (2007, methodology): “The approach adopted is locally weighted regression (LOWESS Cleveland and Devlin, 1988) of presence/absence data.”
Oceanographic influences on seabirds and cetaceans of the eastern tropical Pacific: A review (2006, methodology): “Since that time, survey methods have been standardized, and strip- and line-transect methods developed to allow for quantitative collection, analysis, and comparison of data in a systematic way (Brown, 1980; Tasker et al., 1984; Haney, 1985; Tasker et al., 1985; Briggs et al., 1987; Gaston et al., 1”
Physical and biological variables affecting seabird distributions during the upwelling season of the northern California Current (2005, methodology): “8 We used generalized additive models (GAMs; Hastie and Tibshirani, 1990) to estimate population sizes (see Clarke et al. 2003, for details on methodology used in this study) of the more abundant species (see above).”
