Abstract
Temporal variation in animal responses to landscape conditions may affect animal distributions, population and community structure, and resource use. Measuring such variation and studying its influence is essential for developing a realistic understanding of animal-landscape relations. Several statistical modeling approaches are appropriate for explicitly incorporating time into analyses of animal-landscape relations, but landscape ecologists have not commonly used them.
