Habitat distribution and habitat preference in Barbary macaques (Macaca sylvanus)
International Journal of Primatology, 1984Barbary macaques (Macaca sylvanus,L.) occur at varying densities in a number of different habitat types in Morocco and Algeria. Taub (1977) has argued that the abundance of the species in cedar forests of the Moyen Atlas, Morocco, is an indication of a habitat preference.

Habitat preferences of aphidophagous coccinellids [Coleoptera]
Entomophaga, 1985From May to July 1982 and 1983, coccinellids were sampled in habitats that differed in aphid density, insolation, and host plant type. The number of adults ofCoccinella 7-punctata (CS),C. 5-punctata (CQ),Propylea 14-punctata (PQ),Adonia variegata (AV),Adalia bipunctata (AB),A. 10-punctata (AD), andCalvia 14-guttata (CA) were recorded.

Habitat preservation and restoration: Do homebuyers have preferences for quality habitat?
Ecological Economics, 2009Abstract This research examines homebuyers' preferences for nearby riparian habitat, an important issue because quality riparian habitat competes for water resources with other activities in semi-arid regions and because federal and local governments allocate significant resources to riparian habitat preservation and restoration plans.

Tropical Forest Healers and Habitat Preference
Economic Botany, 1996Tropical forests represent repositories of medicinal plant species and indigenous ethnomedical knowledge. These biotic and cognitive resources are threatened by forest removal and culture change. It has, however, yet to be demonstrated quantitatively that tropical pharmacopoeias are concentrated in primary as opposed to disturbed forests, nor that folk

Habitat Preferences of Woodcock in Southwestern Quebec
The Journal of Wildlife Management, 1976Habitat preferences of American woodcock (Philohela minor) were studied in southwestern Quebec between April and November 1972. Courtship territories on fields averaged 0.4 ha and were at least 80.5 m apart. Woody vegetation influenced utilization of fields during and after the breeding season. Coverage by woody vegetation over 0.9 m tall was between 4

Habitat preferences of ptarmigan hunters in Norway
European Journal of Wildlife Research, 2009Hunting for willow ptarmigan (Lagopus lagopus) is a popular recreational activity in Norway, but studies of the hunters are limited. While large game management in Norway is based on sound models and research, management of small game hunters and hunting have not been subject to the same rigour.

Habitat preference and competition among Carabus
1994A simulation model for evaluating species richness is presented. It emphasizes the importance of specific ranges of tolerable habitat conditions as well as habitat diversity as determinants of the number of species in a habitat. However, it neglects the role of interspecific competition as a factor influencing species richness.

Habitat Preferences of Some Neophytes, with a Reference to Habitat Disturbances
Polish Journal of Ecology, 2014ABSTRACT: The spread of species far from their native range is an important component of global changes. Investigating the ability of alien plants to invade different habitats is one of the most important approaches in the analysis of biological invasion mechanisms. The study was based on floristic research carried out in 1998–2002 in the north-western

Statistical methods for assessing habitat preferences
2009It is often the case that samples are taken in a non-random fashion. This thesis attempts to define a methodology by which some analysis can be performed on a specific kind of non-random sample. In studies of wildlife behaviour, a common method of sampling involves tagging an animal and relocating it in subsequent time periods.
