Maternal den site fidelity of polar bears in western Hudson Bay

The paper examines maternal den site fidelity in western Hudson Bay polar bears using telemetry data, finding moderate fidelity to denning areas but not specific sites.

Step selection analysis with non-linear and random effects in mgcv

This paper extends step selection analysis by incorporating non-linear and random effects using penalised smooths in the mgcv R package, enhancing flexibility and biological realism in modeling animal movement and habitat selection.

Flexible hidden Markov models for behaviour-dependent habitat selection

This paper introduces an integrated HMM-SSF model to jointly analyze behavior-dependent habitat selection in animals, identifying distinct behavioral states and their spatial preferences in zebras.
