Measuring habitat quality for waterbirds: A review. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2023 Quantifying habitat quality is dependent on measuring a site’s relative contribution to population growth rate. This is challenging for studies of waterbirds, whose high mobility can decouple demographic rates from local habitat conditions and make sustained monitoring of individuals near-impossible.

Habitat quality, water quality and otter distribution
Hystrix, the Italian Journal of Mammalogy, 1995 <strong>Abstract</strong> In recent decades the otter (<em>Lutra lutra</em>) has declined over much of Europe. Good habitat has been shown to be essential to otters. Specific elements of cover have been identified in some studies

Trends in habitat quality and habitat degradation in terrestrial protected areas
Conservation BiologyAbstract Protected areas are typically considered a cornerstone of conservation programs and play a fundamental role in protecting natural areas and biodiversity. Human‐driven land‐use and land‐cover (LULC) changes lead to habitat loss and biodiversity loss inside protected areas, impairing their effectiveness.

Habitat Selection by Two Species of Nectarivore: Habitat Quality Isolines [PDF]
Ecology, 1992 I present a model predicting the distribution and abundance of two species of competing nectarivore exploiting nectar in two types of flower. The model uses a submodel of resource renewal and depletion, and the principle that individuals attempt to maximize individual fitness, to construct habitat isolines.
