When habitat matters: Habitat preferences can modulate co-occurrence patterns of similar sympatric species.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2017
Disentangling the role of competition in regulating the distribution of sympatric species can be difficult because species can have different habitat preferences or time use that introduce non-random patterns that are not related to interspecific ...

Habitat preferences of twenty‐seven grasses

open access: yesProceedings of the Annual Congresses of the Grassland Society of Southern Africa, 1971
A statistical analysis of species/habitat data from 521 sites in the Orange Free State is presented with a view to establishing relationships for use in aerial photograph interpretation. Quantitative data on the association between 27 common grasses and the following habitat factors are evaluated: altitude, aspect, slope, stoniness, erosion, trampling,

Habitat Preferences at the Leading Edge of a Marine Bioinvasion. [PDF]

open access: yesEcol Evol
ABSTRACT To enable the early detection and eradication of invasive species, it is crucial to predict habitats with an elevated risk of invasion. Despite the fact that invaders may display initial habitat preferences and niche shifts during range expansion, studies identifying habitat associations at invasion ...

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.

Classification is instructive – comments on a published table of antelope habitat preferences

open access: yesKoedoe: African Protected Area Conservation and Science, 1980
Pienaar (1974) showed the habitat preferences of South African antelope species in a two-way table. Rows represent species and columns represent habitats. Matrix entries link species to their preferred habitats (Table 1).

Habitat Selection and Risk of Predation: Re-colonization by Lynx had Limited Impact on Habitat Selection by Roe Deer [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Risk of predation is an evolutionary force that affects behaviors of virtually all animals. In this study, we examined how habitat selection by roe deer was affected by risk of predation by Eurasian lynx - the main predator of roe deer in Scandinavia ...

Habitat preference of two sympatric coastal cetaceans in Langkawi, Malaysia, as determined by passive acoustic monitoring

open access: yesEndangered Species Research, 2022
Little is known about the ecology of the Indo-Pacific finless porpoise Neophocaena phocaenoides or the Indo-Pacific humpback dolphin Sousa chinensis in Southeast Asia.

Habitat preferences and movement of adult yellowfishes in the Vaal River, South Africa

open access: yesSouth African Journal of Science, 2013
The yellowfishes of the Vaal River (Labeobarbus kimberleyensis and L. aeneus) are charismatic, socially and economically important fishes, but very little is known about their interspecies habitat preferences and movement.

Consistent choice of landscape urbanization level across the annual cycle in a migratory waterbird species

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2021
Rapid urbanization has a great impact on avian distribution, ecology, habitat selection, and behavior. Recent avian studies indicated that individuals remain consistent in their behavioral responses to human disturbance across short periods of time ...
