Effects of non-representative sampling design on multi-scale habitat models: flammulated owls in the Rocky Mountains
Sampling bias and autocorrelation can lead to erroneous estimates of habitat selection, model overfitting and elevated omission rates. We developed a multi-scale habitat suitability model of the flammulated owl (Psiloscops flammeolus) in the Northern Rocky Mountains based on extensive but spatially...
