Summary

Resource selection functions (RSF) and associated maps are often used by managers to guide conservation actions (Crawford et al., 2020; Pratt & Beck, 2021; Saher et al., 2022). However it is important to move beyond designating important habitat solely based on species occupancy or use. Incorporating demographic measures such as reproductive success will provide increased power and detail for ranking habitat for management priority, particularly across multiple life stages and large spatial extents (Gibson et al., 2016; Pratt and Beck, 2021; Stephens et al., 2015). We provide a quantitative approach to differentiate productive habitats supporting high selection and survival from areas of maladaptive selection where selection and survival [...]

Purpose

Management decisions often focus on habitat selection of marked individuals without considering the contribution to performance in selected habitats. Because habitat selection is not always adaptive, understanding the link between habitat selection and demographic performance is critical to management decisions. Mapping both selection and demographic performance for species of conservation concern can help guide population-scale conservation efforts.
