Consistency in Animal Distributions Using Survey Data" PLoS ONE

[notes]
The degree of consistency with which groups of animals use the landscape is
determined by a variety of ecological processes that influence their movements
and patterns of habitat use. We developed a technique termed Distributional
Consistency that uses survey data of unmarked individuals to quantify temporal
consistency in their spatial distribution, while accounting for changes in
population size. Distributional consistency is quantified by comparing the
observed distribution patterns to all theoretically possible distribution patterns
of observed individuals, leading to a proportional score between 0 and 1,
reflecting increasingly consistent use of sites within a region. The technique
can be applied to survey data for any taxa across a range of spatial and
temporal scales. We suggest ways in which distributional consistency could
provide inferences about the dispersal and habitat decisions of individuals, and
the scales at which these decisions operate. Distributional consistency
integrates spatial and temporal processes to quantify an important
characteristic of different habitats and their use by populations, which in turn
will be particularly useful in complimenting and interpreting other ecological
measures such as population density and stability. The technique can be
applied to many existing data sets to investigate and evaluate a range of
important ecological questions using simple survey data.
