Innate Host Habitat Preference in the Parasitoid Diachasmimorpha longicaudata: Functional Significance and Modifications through Learning. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS 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.

Effects of frugivore preferences and habitat heterogeneity on seed rain: a multi-scale analysis. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2012
Seed rain mediated by frugivores is influenced by (1) the seed-deposition distances following fruit ingestion, (2) the disperser activity, as determined by its behaviour and habitat preferences, and (3) the structure of the habitat within the landscape ...

Finding food in a changing world: Small‐scale foraging habitat preferences of an insectivorous passerine in the Alps

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2023
Organisms living in high‐elevation habitats are usually habitat specialists who occupy a narrow ecological niche. To envision the response of alpine species to a changing environment, it is fundamental to understand their habitat preferences on multiple ...

Karstic Landscapes Are Foci of Species Diversity in the World’s Third-Largest Vertebrate Genus Cyrtodactylus Gray, 1827 (Reptilia: Squamata; Gekkonidae)

open access: yesDiversity, 2021
Karstic landscapes are immense reservoirs of biodiversity and range-restricted endemism. Nowhere is this more evident than in the world’s third-largest vertebrate genus Cyrtodactylus (Gekkonidae) which contains well over 300 species.

Habitat Preference and Suitability Habitat of Cuscus at PT Wijaya Sentosa, Teluk Wondama Regency

open access: yesJurnal 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 ...

Variation in Sphingomonas traits across habitats and phylogenetic clades

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2023
Whether microbes show habitat preferences is a fundamental question in microbial ecology. If different microbial lineages have distinct traits, those lineages may occur more frequently in habitats where their traits are advantageous.

Modelling fish habitat preference with a genetic algorithm-optimized Takagi-Sugeno model based on pairwise comparisons [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Species-environment relationships are used for evaluating the current status of target species and the potential impact of natural or anthropogenic changes of their habitat. Recent researches reported that the results are strongly affected by the quality

Dispersing brush mice prefer habitat like home [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2007
During natal dispersal, young animals leave their natal area and search for a new area to live. In species in which individuals inhabit different types of habitat, experience with a natal habitat may increase the probability that a disperser will select the same type of habitat post-dispersal (natal habitat preference induction or NHPI).

Fish distribution in a small domestic water supply reservoir: a case study of Kangimi Reservoir, Kaduna, Nigeria [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
A study of the composition and distribution of fish populations in the inshore, surface and bottom water habitats of Kangimi Reservoir showed that the most abundant family was the Cichlidae followed in order of abundance by the familiesCyprinidae ...
