• What Is the Proper Methodto Delineate Home Range of anAnimal Using Today’s AdvancedGPS Telemetry Systems: The Initial Step (2011, neutral): “…(Worton 1989), was considered better than plug-in bandwidth selection (for description see 3.3) at identifying distributions with tight clumps of points but risk of failure increases with hlscv when a distribution has a “very tight cluster of points” (Gitzen et al., 2006; Pellerin et al., 2008).”
• Home range size of adult Indo-Pacific bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops aduncus) in a coastal and estuarine system is habitat and sex-specific (2016, methodology): “The choice of a bandwidth selection method may vary depending on the study goals, sample size and patterns of space use by the study species (Gitzen et al. 2006).”
• Estimating Utilization Distributions with Kernel Versus Local Convex Hull Methods (2011, methodology): “The KDE bandwidth selectors included the reference bandwidth (REF), least-squares cross-validation (LSCV), the direct plug-in (DPI; equivalent to the bivariate plug-in of Gitzen et al. 2006), and the solve-the-equation (STE) methods (Wand and Jones 1995, Gitzen et al. 2006).”
• Effects of Point Pattern Shape on Home-Range Estimates (2008, methodology): “These patterns are roughly comparable to the nest tree distributions analyzed by Gitzen et al. (2006).”
• Remotely sensed productivity, regional home range selection, and local range use by an omnivorous primate (2009, methodology): “Here, a fixed Gaussian kernel, relying on least squares cross-validation to parameterize the kernel’s bandwidth, was chosen (Gitzen et al. 2006).”
