Nonideal nest box selection by tree swallows breeding in farmlands: Evidence for an ecological trap?
Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Animals are expected to select a breeding habitat using cues that should reflect, directly or not, the fitness outcome of the different habitat options.

The effect of natal experience on habitat preferences
Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 2004 Several important problems in ecology, evolution and conservation biology are affected by habitat selection in dispersing animals. Experience in the natal habitat has long been considered a potential source of variation in the habitat preferences displayed when dispersers select a post-dispersal habitat.

The induction of larval resource preference in heterogeneous habitats [PDF]
Ecological Entomology, 2018 1. Animals often have to choose between multiple food sources in their habitat, and these potentially complex decisions have a large impact on their fitness. Among other factors, previous experience with an alternative resource can significantly increase subsequent preference for the resource (‘induction of preference’).

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.

Neue Funde von Atypus muralis (Araneae: Atypidae) in Sachsen-Anhalt
Arachnologische Mitteilungen, 2005 The paper presents new records of the spider Atypus muralis Bertkau, 1890 in the valleys of the rivers Saale and Unstrut in the south of Saxony-Anhalt in Middle Germany. All specimens were males, caught by pitfall traps in xerothermic steppic grasslands
