adjusting for radiotelemetry error to improve estimates of habitat use
adjusting for radiotelemetry error to improve estimates of habitat use Author:Scott L. Findholt Animal locations estimated from radiotelemetry have traditionally been treated as error-free when analyzed in relation to habitat variables. Location error lowers the power of statistical tests of habitat selection. We describe a method that incorporates the error surrounding point estimates into measures of environmental variables determined fr... more »om a geographic information system. We estimated a bivariate ellipsoidal probability density for errors surrounding radio collars placed at 20 random sites.« less
