Behavior and nutritional condition buffer a large‐bodied endotherm against direct and indirect effects of climate (2014, methodology): “Niche Mapper is based on first biophysical principles, and is designed to solve the energy balance equation (Porter and Gates 1969, Campbell and Norman 1998) for a model organism as a function of directly measurable properties of the organism and its environment.”
The role of herbivores in Great Plains conservation: comparative ecology of bison and cattle (2011, background): “We argue that recognizing ecological differences between bison and cattle would be best studied on large, complex landscapes that do not limit behavior to finer scales (Holland et al. 2004, Boyce 2006, Bowyer and Kie 2006).”
Habitat selection of breeding riparian birds in an urban environment: untangling the relative importance of biophysical elements and spatial scale (2011, background): “The scales at which species interact with their environment can diverge sharply from expectations based solely on body size (Lima & Zollner, 1996) or human preconceptions (Bowyer & Kie, 2006).”
Temperature-mediated habitat use and selection by a heat-sensitive northern ungulate (2012, background): “Indeed, sampling of resource availability should be matched to the most appropriate spatial and temporal scale (Bowyer & Kie 2006).”
Habitat selection by mule deer during migration: effects of landscape structure and natural-gas development (2012, methodology): “Hence, we used a critical life-history characteristic of mule deer to determine the scale at which to measure availability of habitat characteristics during migration (sensu Bowyer and Kie 2006).”
The spatial scale of plant-animal interactions: effects of resource availability and habitat structure (2011, background): “For example, the landscape-scale distribution of large herbivores seems to be largely driven by anti-predator behavior, as they select the most protective landscape sectors, irrespective of food plant availability therein (Bowyer and Kie 2006).”
Resource Selection and Movements by Female Mule Deer Odocoileus hemionus: Effects of Reproductive Stage (2009, background): “Strategies used by ungulates to meet nutritional requirements often vary with both spatial and temporal scale (Parker 2003), and thus patterns of resource selectionand space use tend tobe highly sensitive to scale (Bowyer & Kie 2006).”
Spatial and Temporal Structure of a Mesocarnivore Guild in Midwestern North America (2015, background): “The importance of scale in ecological research has been demonstrated rep atedly (Johnson 1980, Wiens 1989, Carroll et al. 2001, Bowyer and Kie 2006, Mayor et al. 2009).”
Habitat Selection at Multiple Scales (2009, background): “The scales at which animals interact with their environment can, however, diverge sharply from expectations based on body size (Lima & Zollner, 1996) or human preconceptions (Bowyer & Kie, 2006).”
