Evidence of natal habitat preference induction within one habitat type. [PDF]
Proc Biol Sci, 2016 Natal habitat preference induction (NHPI) is a mechanism for habitat selection by individuals during natal dispersal. NHPI occurs in wild animal populations, and evidence suggests it may be a common, although little studied, mechanism for post-dispersal habitat selection.

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 adaptation rather than genetic distance correlates with female preference in fire salamanders (
Frontiers in Zoology, 2009 Background Although some mechanisms of habitat adaptation of conspecific populations have been recently elucidated, the evolution of female preference has rarely been addressed as a force driving habitat adaptation in natural settings. Habitat adaptation

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.

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 ...

Habitat preference of an herbivore shapes the habitat distribution of its host plant. [PDF]
Ecosphere, 2018 Abstract 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 experimental manipulation of both plants and ...
