Alston, J. M., Fleming, C. H., Kays, R., Streicher, J. P., Downs, C. T., Ramesh, T., & Calabrese, J. M. (2022, April 22).
TL;DR:
This study introduces a method for likelihood weighting of animal locations to mitigate the negative consequences of autocorrelation on resource selection functions, and demonstrates that this method weights each observed location in an animal’s movement track according to its level of non-independence, expanding confidence intervals and reducing bias that can arise when there are missing data in the movement track.

Monitoring small mammal abundance using NEON data: are calibrated indices useful?
Parsons, A. W., Clark, J. S., & Kays, R. (2022, November 25). JOURNAL OF MAMMALOGY, Vol. 11.
author keywords: abundance; abundance indices; Bayesian; capture; recapture; NEON; small mammal
TL;DR:
It is found that neither raw abundance indices nor index calibrations were reliable approximations of absolute abundance, with raw indices less correlated with absolute abundance than index calibratedations, and none of the indices should be used for comparing different species due to high variation in capture probabilities.

Pease, B. S., Pacifici, K., Kays, R., & Reich, B. (2022, July 4). DIVERSITY AND DISTRIBUTIONS, Vol. 7.
author keywords: American black bear; niche conservatism; spatial non-stationarity; species-environment relationships; Ursus americanus
TL;DR:
This work has suggested that niche traits that are conserved should reflect the evolutionary history of a species whereas more flexible ecological traits could vary at finer scales, reflecting local adaptation.
