Using Resource Selection Functions to Improve Estimation of Elk Population Numbers (2008)

James R. Allen, Leslie E. Mcinenly, Evelyn H. Merrill, Mark S. Boyce

Stratification is commonly used to improve sampling efficiency of aerial surveys of ungulate populations with strata typically based on a priori information, such as preflight animal observations or...

Longevity can buffer plant and animal populations against changing climatic variability (2008)

Morris, William F, Pfister, Catherine A, Tuljapurkar, Shripad, Haridas, Chirrakal V, Boggs, Carol L, Boyce, Mark S, ...

Both means and year-to-year variances of climate variables such as temperature and precipitation are predicted to change. However, the potential impact of changing climatic variability on the fate of...

Range-Wide Patterns of Greater Sage-Grouse Persistence (2008)

Aldridge, Cameron L., Nielsen, Scott E., Beyer, Hawthorne L., Boyce, Mark S., Connelly, John W., Knick, Steven T., ...

Aim Greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus), a shrub-steppe obligate species of western North America, currently occupies only half its historical range. Here we examine how broad-scale,...

Forecasting spatially structuredpopulations: the role of dispersal and scale (2005)

Cailin, Xu, Boyce, Mark S, Gadgil, Madhav, Nanjundiah, Vidyanand

We forecasted spatially structured population models with complex dynamics. focusing on the effect of dispersal and spatial scale on the predictive capability of nonlinear forecasting (NLF)....

SCALE-DEPENDENT SUMMER RESOURCE SELECTION BY REINTRODUCED ELK IN WISCONSIN, USA (2005)

DEAN P. ANDERSON, MONICA G. TURNER, JAMES D. FORESTER, JUN ZHU, MARK S. BOYCE, HAWTHORNE BEYER, ...

Identifying how habitat use is influenced by environmental heterogeneity at different scales is central to understanding ungulate population dynamics on complex landscapes. We used resource selection...

MODELING SURVIVAL: APPLICATION OF THE ANDERSEN–GILL MODEL TO YELLOWSTONE GRIZZLY BEARS (2004)

CHRIS J. JOHNSON, MARK S. BOYCE, CHARLES C. SCHWARTZ, MARK A. HAROLDSON

Wildlife ecologists often use the Kaplan-Meier procedure or Cox proportional hazards model to estimate survival rates, distributions, and magnitude of risk factors. The Andersen–Gill formulation...

Population dynamics of California gulls /--by Christopher S. Nations. (1994)

Nations, Christopher S., Boyce, Mark S.

"Each [chapter] was conceived and written as a separate paper ... Chapter III was co-authored with Dr. Mark Boyce"--Pref.

The Red Queen Visits Sage Grouse Leks (1990)

BOYCE, MARK S.

Coevolution between parasites and host is a sufficient although not necessary condition for the evolution of secondary sexual characteristics. I review evidence supporting the role of parasites in...

Lifetime reproductive success and density-dependent, multi-variable resource selection

McLoughlin, Philip D, Boyce, Mark S, Coulson, Tim, Clutton-Brock, Tim

Individuals are predicted to maximize lifetime reproductive success (LRS) through selective use of resources; however, a wide range of ecological and social processes may prevent individuals from...
