Resource-selection analysis compares the distributions of


4. Resource-selection analysis compares the distributions of animals relative to the distribution of habitat. If the two don't agree, there is evidence of selection. A survey of 106 moose found that 24 were located in "In burn - interior," 22 in "In burn - edge," 20 in "Out of burn - edge," and 40 in "Other" habitat types. The corresponding proportion of the landscape as determined by a Geographic Information System (GIS) in these habitats was 0.340, 0.101, 0.104, and 0.455 respectively.
