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 periods spring through fall were
evaluated. Recently published statistical and non-statistical validation methods
were used to score models using a priori performance criteria. Results showed
that 1-month models for early spring, late summer and early autumn scored high,
mid-summer models scored medium low and a late fall model scored low. Two
2-month models representing early/late spring and late summer/early autumn
scored high. Discussion focuses on understanding both high and low scoring
models and recommendations for refinement. Suitability of these spatial models
to management planning is also discussed. |
