Accounting for unobserved spatial variation in step selection analyses of animal movement via spatial random effects
Abstract Step selection analysis (SSA) is a common framework for understanding animal movement and resource selection using telemetry data. Such data are, however, inherently autocorrelated in space, a complication that could impact SSA‐based inference if left unaddressed. Accounting for spatial cor...
