Animal movement tools (amt): R package for managing tracking data and conducting habitat selection analyses (2018, background): “Despite the sensitivity of the resulting inference to habitat availability (Beyer et al. , 2010), no consensus exists as to the most suitable approach to delineate the spatial domain of availability (Northrup et al. , 2013; Paton & Matthiopoulos, 2016; Prokopenko et al. , 2017b).”
Establishing the link between habitat selection and animal population dynamics (2015, background): “In practice, this requires the user to define an appropriate G-space in which all areas are accessible by the population (Northrup et al. 2013).”
Integrated step selection analysis: bridging the gap between resource selection and animal movement (2015, background): “Whereas much progress has been gained in the application of RSAs to animal positional data, the problem of defining the appropriate spatial domain available to the animal remains as a major concern (Matthiopoulos 2003; Northrup et al. 2013; Lele et al. 2013; McDonald et al. 2013).”
