Relationships between survival and habitat suitability of semi‐aquatic mammals [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2020 Spatial distribution and habitat selection are integral to the study of animal ecology. Habitat selection may optimize the fitness of individuals. Hutchinsonian niche theory posits the fundamental niche of species would support the persistence or growth ...
