Influence of natal habitat preference on habitat selection during extra‐home range movements in a large ungulate [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2023 Natal habitat preference induction (NHPI) occurs when animals exhibit a preference for new habitat that is similar to that which they experienced in their natal environment, potentially leading to post‐dispersal success.

Habitat preference of an herbivore shapes the habitat distribution of its host plant. [PDF]
Ecosphere, 2018 Plant distributions can be limited by habitat-biased herbivory, but the proximate causes of such biases are rarely known. Distinguishing plant-centric from herbivore-centric mechanisms driving differential herbivory between habitats is difficult without ...

Age‐specific habitat preference, carrying capacity, and landscape structure determine the response of population spatial variability to fishing‐driven age truncation [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Understanding the mechanisms underlying spatial variability of exploited fish is critical for the sustainable management of fish stocks. Empirical studies suggest that size‐selective fishing can elevate fish population spatial variability (i.e., more ...

Habitat Preference and Suitability Habitat of Cuscus at PT Wijaya Sentosa, Teluk Wondama Regency
Jurnal Manajemen Hutan Tropika, 2022 Previous studies are most focusing on the species identification and habitat used by cuscus, while habitat changes are the most threats on cuscus. Habitat changes caused by the operation of logging concession such as PT Wijaya Sentosa creates an impact ...

Innate Host Habitat Preference in the Parasitoid Diachasmimorpha longicaudata: Functional Significance and Modifications through Learning. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Parasitoids searching for polyphagous herbivores can find their hosts in a variety of habitats. Under this scenario, chemical cues from the host habitat (not related to the host) represent poor indicators of host location.

The interpretation of habitat preference metrics under use–availability designs
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2010 Models of habitat preference are widely used to quantify animal-habitat relationships, to describe and predict differential space use by animals, and to identify habitat that is important to an animal (i.e.

Multi-scale habitat preference analyses for Azorean blue whales. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 Blue whales are sighted every year around the Azores islands, which apparently provide an important seasonal foraging area. In this paper we aim to characterize habitat preferences and analyze the temporal distribution of blue whales around São Miguel ...
