Preferred risk habitat of individual investors☆
Journal of Financial Economics, 2008Abstract The preferred risk habitat hypothesis, introduced here, is that individual investors select stocks whose volatilities are commensurate with their risk aversion. The data, 1995–2000 holdings of over 20,000 clients at a large German broker, are consistent with the predictions of the hypothesis: the returns of stocks within each portfolio have ...

Habitat imprinting and natal habitat preference induction
2019In 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 experience has on later habitat preferences, is discussed.

A Study of Habitat Preferences in the Grey Kangaroo
Wildlife Research, 1981In a state forestry reserve in south-eastern Queensland, indices of grey kangaroo abundance were obtained from faecal pellet counts and were related to habitat structure by analysis of variance, multiple regression and cluster analysis. Of these, cluster analysis proved the most effective technique.

Forest Ecology and Management, 2021
Abstract Central to the conservation of animal species is identifying factors that influence habitat preference. General factors that operate across a species’ geographic range are of particular importance because they allow management actions to be applied when resources are limited.

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

pH-preferences and habitat selection in carabid beetles
Oecologia, 1984Seven species of carabid beetles were examined in different "pH-Orgeln" for pH-preferences. Five of these species showed significant preferences for specific pH-fields. Presumably, this parameter of distribution found in the laboratory is also effective in the field.

The distribution and habitat preferences of the zebrafish in Bangladesh
Journal of Fish Biology, 2006The present study presents the results of a survey of a wide range of water bodies in Bangladesh to identify and describeDanio reriohabitat preferences. Field‐based experiments were conducted to determine the vertical distribution ofD. rerioin the water column, together with five other fish species commonly found in association withD. rerio.

A Reappraisal of the Locomotion and Habitat Preference of Theropithecus oswaldi
Folia Primatologica, 2003The one modern member of the genus Theropithecus, T. gelada (Primates, Cercopithecidae), inhabits grassland and is highly terrestrial. It is often supposed that Theropithecus oswaldi, one of the most common primates of the Plio-Pleistocene of East and southern Africa, was also a highly terrestrial open habitat species.
