Evidence of natal habitat preference induction within one habitat type [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 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.

Habitat Imprinting and Natal Habitat Preference Induction

open access: yes, 2019
In this article, what is currently understood about the role that early experience has in the formation of habitat preferences is reviewed. The umbrella concept, Natal Habitat Preference Induction (NHPI), which includes a number of effects that natal ...

Speciation: more likely through a genetic or through a learned habitat preference?

open access: yesProceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2005
A problem in understanding sympatric speciation is establishing how reproductive isolation can arise when there is disruptive selection on an ecological trait.

Congruence among multiple indices of habitat preference for species facing human‐induced rapid environmental change: A case study using the Brewer's sparrow

open access: yesEcological Solutions and Evidence, 2022
Accurate evaluations of habitat preference are key to understanding optimal conditions for wildlife survival and reproduction. Habitat selection, however, usually is evaluated using a single index of preference, and congruence among multiple, relevant ...

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 the marine-speciation paradox [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series B: Biological Sciences, 2003
Marine organisms challenge the classical theories of local adaptation and speciation because their planktonic larvae have the potential to maintain high gene flow. The marine-speciation paradox is illustrated by contact zones between incipient species that are so large that allopatric divergence seems unlikely.

Quantifying habitat preference of bottom trawling gear [PDF]

open access: yes, 2021
Continental shelves around the world are subject to intensive bottom trawling. Demersal fish assemblages inhabiting these shelves account for one-fourth of landed wild marine species.
