A Permutation-based Combination of Sign Tests for Assessing Habitat Selection [PDF]
The analysis of habitat use in radio-tagged animals is approached by comparing the portions of use vs the portions of availability observed for each habitat type.

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Domesticated European rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus) have long been chosen as laboratory model organisms. Despite this, there has been no definitive study of the vertebral musculature of wild rabbits. Relevant descriptions of well‐studied veterinary model mammals (such as dogs) are generally applicable, but not appropriate for a species ...

Habitat preference and habitat exploration in two species of satyrine butterflies
Ecography, 2003 We compared the habitat preference and the mobility of different populations of primarily forest living, satyrine butterflies by observing them in a manipulated environment, containing different habitat types inside a large outdoor cage. The cage was 30 m long and divided into three parts.

, 2009 Global attempts to offset declines in fishery populations through stock enhancement have had varied levels of success due to the absence of preliminary studies to determine which habitats best support release species and the mechanisms controlling their ...

Preference elicitation and preference uncertainty: an application to noise valuation [PDF]
, 2011 The valuation of environmental impacts through Choice Experiments (CE) has been increasing applied in order to estimate the cost of environmental externalities.

How mechanisms of habitat preference evolve and promote divergence with gene flow
, 2015 Habitat preference may promote adaptive divergence and speciation, yet the conditions under which this is likely are insufficiently explored. We use individual-based simulations to study the evolution and consequence of habitat preference during ...

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Analysis of the variation in the bony structures of the inner and middle ear provides critical insights into functional morphology, as well as adaptive morphology across primates. In this study, we investigated whether ear morphology patterns are related to the ecological characteristics of species and their habitats to test two acoustic ...

Sociobiology, 2015 Myrmecophilus crickets (Myrmecophilidae, Orthoptera) are typical ant guests. In Japan, about 10 species are recognized on the basis of morphological and molecular phylogenetic frameworks. We focused on two of these species, M. kinomurai and M.

The selective utilisation of Rhizophora mangle habitat by juvenile reef fish [PDF]
Recognised as 'Essential Fish Habitat', red mangrove (Rhizophora mangle) has received much attention in recent years to assess its nursery function. Research suggests that mangrove habitat contributes significantly to coral reef fish populations. Not all

Spatial organisation and feeding ecology of the American mink (Mustela vison) in a coastal habitat [PDF]
, 1996 The American mink (Mustela vison Schreber) is the only introduced carnivore that has successfully colonised the British Isles. In the present study, the important problem of understanding which are the factors that limit or enhance their number has been ...
