Important Bird and Biodiversity Areas (IBAs): the development and characteristics of a global inventory of key sites for biodiversity (2018, methodology): “…technologies, and the development of suitable methods to identify the most important foraging hotspots and migratory bottlenecks from tracking data (Lascelles et al. 2016), have opened up new ways of delineating IBAs far from land, but the large number of seabird species and the huge number of…”
Multispecies tracking reveals a major seabird hotspot in the North Atlantic (2021, methodology): “We analyzed tracking data in combination with objective site selection criteria following the method developed to delineate marine Important Bird and Biodiversity Areas (IBAs) (Lascelles et al., 2016) and Key Biodiversity Areas (“track2kba” R package; Beal et al., 2020).”
Spatial scales of marine conservation management for breeding seabirds (2018, methodology): “To identify the core area, the scale of the area-restricted search derived from first-passage time analysis was used as the smoothing factor in the kernel density estimator [1,59,60].”
Habitat modelling of tracking data from multiple marine predators identifies important areas in the Southern Indian Ocean (2018, methodology): “The mean of these curves was then modelled as a nonlinear asymptotic regression, and the cumulative number of cells visited as a percentage of the estimated number of cells at the asymptote was used as a measure of the representativeness (cf.
