Abstract

Fine-scale responses of wildlife to crossing roads and interacting with vehicles can be translated to coarse-scale behaviors measured by GPS radiotelemetry. Telemetry facilitates evaluating and predicting the relationship of wildlife to roads when direct observations of wildlife-road interactions are not available. We predicted wolverine response to roads and traffic using radiotelemetry. Our findings show how researchers can acquire a more holistic understanding of habitat suitability by quantifying both habitat selection and movement simultaneously.
