Habitat Selection and Risk of Predation: Re-colonization by Lynx had Limited Impact on Habitat Selection by Roe Deer [PDF]
, 2013 Risk of predation is an evolutionary force that affects behaviors of virtually all animals. In this study, we examined how habitat selection by roe deer was affected by risk of predation by Eurasian lynx - the main predator of roe deer in Scandinavia ...

Habitat structure: a fundamental concept and framework for urban soil ecology [PDF]
, 2007 Habitat structure is defined as the composition and arrangement of physical matter at a location. Although habitat structure is the physical template underlying ecological patterns and processes, the concept is relatively unappreciated and underdeveloped

Threats of future climate change and land use to vulnerable tree species native to Southern California [PDF]
, 2014 Climate and land-use changes are expected to drive high rates of environmental change and biodiversity loss in Mediterranean ecosystems this century. This paper compares the relative future impacts of land use and climate change on two vulnerable tree ...

The importance of including habitat-specific behaviour in models of butterfly movement [PDF]
, 2020 Dispersal is a key process affecting population persistence and major factors affecting dispersal rates are the amounts, connectedness and properties of habitats in landscapes.

Development of Future Habitat Suitability Models for the Swift fox (Vulpes velox) in the American Southwest [PDF]
, 2009 The Swift fox (Vupes velox) is a habitat specialist species of short or mixed grass prairie. We used bioclimatic envelope models and habitat suitability models under three future climate scenarios (based on CO2 emission rates) from "www ...

“Coastal” versus “inland” shorebird species: interlinked fundamental dichotomies between their life- and demographic histories? [PDF]
, 2003 In this contribution I present an extended but testable hypothesis (or “evolutionary scenario”) to explain how and why many life-history features of latitudinal migrant shorebirds, basically characterised by the correlation between habitat choice in the ...

Habitat‐related seed germination traits in alpine habitats [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2017 AbstractUnderstanding the key aspects of plant regeneration from seeds is crucial in assessing species assembly to their habitats. However, the regenerative traits of seed dormancy and germination are underrepresented in this context. In the alpine zone, the large species and microhabitat diversity provide an ideal context to assess habitat‐related ...

Managed realignment for habitat compensation: Use of a new intertidal habitat by fishes [PDF]
, 2015 Managed realignment has become an increasingly common mechanism to increase the efficiency and sustainability of flood defences, reduce defence costs or compensate for habitat losses. This study investigated the use by fishes of a new intertidal habitat,
