Remotely sensed productivity, regional home range selection, and local range use by an omnivorous primate (2009, background): “…of the causal relationships linking environmental conditions to animal characteristics such as life-history traits (Rasmussen et al. 2006; Wittemyer et al. 2007), biodiversity (Hurlbert and Haskell 2003; Ruggiero and Kitzberger 2004), migration patterns (Boone et al. 2006; Ruegg et al.…”
Elephant spatial use in wet and dry savannas of southern Africa (2009, methodology): “…home ranges reflect an animal’s nutritional requirements (see Schoener, 1981), and for elephants smaller ranges suggest higher quality home ranges (Wittemyer et al., 2007a), we further expected that differences in the quantity, distribution and stability of vegetation productivity as a coarse…”
A Comparison of Social Organization in Asian Elephants and African Savannah Elephants (2012, methodology): “The focal elephants are not always present in the national reserves (Wittemyer et al. 2007), which represent <10% of the subjects’ known range (Wittemyer et al.”
ANIMAL HABITAT QUALITY AND ECOSYSTEM FUNCTIONING: EXPLORING SEASONAL PATTERNS USING NDVI (2008, background): “Brown bear biology, seasonality, and nested similarity For many species, it has been shown that breeding phenology (i.e., timing of conception and parturition) is closely related to temporal variation in food availability (e.g., Wittemyer et al. 2007).”
Assessing the performance of NDVI as a proxy for plant biomass using non-linear models: a case study on the Kerguelen archipelago (2009, background): “As a consequence, numerous studies are now using NDVI as a proxy of vegetation productivity instead of performing direct vegetation assessments (e.g., Andersen et al. 2004; Garel et al. 2006; Pettorelli et al. 2007; Ryan et al. 2007; Tveraa et al. 2007; Wittemyer et al. 2007 ).”
