AbstractUnderstanding the geographic distributions of animals is central to ecological inquiry and conservation planning. Movement-based habitat selection models, like discrete-time step-selection functions, are useful for identifying key environmental attributes which animals select upon and can nearly perfectly capture preference patterns between environmental conditions. However, predictions based only on selection can often fail to accurately describe true geographic distributions.
