HABITAT SELECTION BY WOOD TURTLES (CLEMMYS INSCULPTA): AN APPLICATION OF PAIRED LOGISTIC REGRESSION

Abstract: Models of habitat selection have been developed primarily for mobile animals with well-defined home ranges. The assumptions made by traditional techniques about habitat availability are inappropriate for species with low mobility and large home ranges, such as the wood turtle. We used paired logistic regression, typically used in medical case Ϫ control studies, to model selection of habitat within activity areas in a population of wood turtles in a watershed in western Maine. We also modeled selection of activ… Show more

“…To assess selection of plants within a given patch (i.e., diet selection), we treated plant type (browsed or non-browsed) as a binary response and the nutrient and PSM covariates as continuous predictors. For the analysis of plant selection, we used conditional logit models to control for variation among patches (Compton et al 2002).…”

“…For each caribou location we generated five random locations within the defined available area. We chose to use movement distance to define availability as opposed to a seasonal home-range estimator as using movement distance allowed the sampled area available to an individual caribou to correspond to each use location for that individual (Compton et al, 2002).…”

“…Unlike traditional logistic regression, where the response variable is presence/ absence, in case-controlled (also known as paired or conditional) logistic regression the response variable is only presence and a 'no intercept' model is used (e.g. Compton et al 2002). We used Firth's biasreduction method as implemented in the brglm package (Kosmidis 2010), where parameters were estimated using maximum penalized likelihood.…”
