Predicting species distribution: offering more than simple habitat models.

open access: yesEcology Letters, 2005
In the last two decades, interest in species distribution models (SDMs) of plants and animals has grown dramatically. Recent advances in SDMs allow us to potentially forecast anthropogenic effects on patterns of biodiversity at different spatial scales ...

Measuring acoustic habitats [PDF]

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, 2015
Summary Many organisms depend on sound for communication, predator/prey detection and navigation. The acoustic environment can therefore play an important role in ecosystem dynamics and evolution. A growing number of studies are documenting acoustic habitats and their influences on animal development, behaviour, physiology and spatial ecology, which ...

WILD TURKEY USE OF STREAMSIDE MANAGEMENT ZONES IN LOBLOLLY PINE PLANTATIONS

open access: yesWildlife Society Bulletin, 1990
:, Documentation of wild turkey (Meleagris gallopavo) use of streamside management zones (SMZs) in short‐rotation pine plantations is inadequate. Turkey use of narrow (30‐45 m), medium (84‐104 m), and wide (170‐179 m) SMZs in midrotation‐aged (13‐19 ...

Habitat‐related seed germination traits in alpine habitats [PDF]

open access: yesEcology 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 ...
