  • Creating, Understanding and Applying Machine Learning Models of Multiple Species

    Creator:
    Griffioen, Arwen Twinkle E.
    Abstract:
    Many problems in ecology and conservation biology can be formulated and solved using machine learning algorithms for multi-label classification. This dissertation addresses three topics related to predicting the distributions of multiple species. It improves existing methods and proposes a new modeling paradigm to address the multi-species, multi-label problem. The first...

  • Validation of elk distribution models at Sled Springs Wildlife Demonstration Area, northeast Oregon

    Creator:
    Coe, Priscilla K.
    Abstract:
    Landscape models for elk distribution developed at Starkey Experimental Forest and Range from 1993-1995 were tested on another landscape during 2003-2005 at Sled Springs Wildlife Demonstration Area. Using location data obtained from 23 wild elk captured and fitted with GPS telemetry collars, 8 spatial resource selection function models representing 8...

  • A Bayesian approach to habitat suitability prediction

    Creator:
    Lockett, Daniel Edwin, IV
    Abstract:
    For the west coast of North America, from northern California to southern Washington, a habitat suitability prediction framework was developed to support wave energy device siting. Concern that wave energy devices may impact the seafloor and benthos has renewed research interest in the distribution of marine benthic invertebrates and factors...

  • Spatial and Temporal Dynamics of Broad-scale Predictive Models : Influences of Scale

    Creator:
    Hooper, Samuel
    Abstract:
    Developing accurate predictive distribution models requires adequately representing relevant spatial and temporal scales, as these scales are ultimately reflective of the relationships between distributions and influential environmental conditions. In this research, we considered both spatial and temporal scale and the influence each has on predicting broad-scale distributions of two disparate...
