Making Great Leaps Forward: Accounting for Detectability in Herpetological Field Studies (2007, methodology): “For more details on the use of the AICc and multimodel inference in herpetology, consult Mazerolle (2006).”
A brief guide to model selection, multimodel inference and model averaging in behavioural ecology using Akaike’s information criterion (2010, background): “Additionally, Hilborn and Mangel (1997), Johnson and Omland (2004), Mazerolle (2006), Towner and Luttbeg (2007) and Stephens et al. (2007) have provided some excellent overviews of techniques of model selection for ecologists more generally.”
Small mammal responses to coarse woody debris distribution at different spatial scales in managed and unmanaged boreal forests (2012, methodology): “Otherwise, we calculated model-averaged estimates and unconditional 95% confidence intervals with multimodel inference (Burnham and Anderson, 2002; Mazerolle, 2006).”
Forecasting Environmental Hazards and the Application of Risk Maps to Predator Attacks on Livestock (2011, methodology): “That predictor had to have a beta coefficient (± the standard error) that did not include zero (i.e., a “stable direction of relationship,” after Mazerolle 2006), which was also significant at p < .025 (correction for the second use of the predictor in a logistic regression); it had to improve…”
Mediterranean temporary ponds as amphibian breeding habitats: the importance of preserving pond networks (2009, methodology): “We followed a model selection approach based on Akaike’s Information Criterion (AIC), as Mazerolle (2006) recommends for herpetological studies.”
