Interspecific aggression and habitat partitioning in garter snakes. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Defense of a limited resource, such as space or food, has recently been discovered in snakes and has been widely documented in lizards. Garter snakes (Thamnophis spp.) are historically considered generalist predators such that food is not a limiting ...

Bees use anthropogenic habitats despite strong natural habitat preferences [PDF]
Diversity and Distributions, 2018 Abstract Aim Habitat loss and alteration are widely considered one of the main drivers of current pollinator diversity loss. Yet little is known about habitat importance and preferences for major groups of pollinators, although this information is crucial to anticipate and mitigate the current ...

Visual adaptation and microhabitat choice in Lake Victoria cichlid fish [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2019 When different genotypes choose different habitats to better match their phenotypes, genetic differentiation within a population may be promoted. Mating within those habitats may subsequently contribute to reproductive isolation.
