Conversion of habitat classifications to random points for habitat selection analysis. Polygons represent A the functional node range where it was possible to triangulate locations, B the 95% kernel density estimate (KDE) contour (general use area), and C the 50% KDE contour (core use area) for 38 diamondback terrapins (Malaclemys terrapin). To simplify data visualization, the KDEs shown here were generated using all triangulated locations in the final dataset. Analyses were conducted using KDEs generated for each terrapin individually. To compare habitat availability versus habitat use, for each terrapin random points were generated D across the functional node range and classified as “Available”, and within the E general use and F core use areas and classified as “Used”. Each random point was assigned a habitat type based on its corresponding map location
