Clarifying space use concepts in ecology: range vs. occurrence distributions

This paper distinguishes between range and occurrence distributions in ecology, showing that conflating them can lead to incorrect ecological inferences and conservation practices.

Accounting for animal movement improves vaccination strategies against wildlife disease in heterogeneous landscapes

This study shows that habitat selection-based baiting strategies improve raccoon rabies seroprevalence in urban-suburban areas compared to current baiting methods.

Evaluating anthropogenic noise impacts on animals in natural areas

This paper demonstrates methods to model and assess anthropogenic noise impacts on animals across landscapes, including spatial evaluation and mitigation strategies.
