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

Drivers of habitat quality for a reintroduced elk herd. [PDF]

Sci Rep, 2022
AbstractUnderstanding spatiotemporal variation in habitat quality is essential for guiding wildlife reintroduction and restoration programs. The habitat productivity hypothesis posits that home range size is inversely related to habitat quality. Thus, home range size may be used as a proxy for habitat quality and can identify important land cover ...

Temporal and spatial variation analysis of habitat quality on the PLUS-InVEST model for Ebinur Lake Basin, China

Ecological Indicators, 2022
The improvement of habitat quality is of great significance to biodiversity conservation. Irrational development activities lead to the degradation of habitat quality and loss of biodiversity, especially in arid inland areas where the ecological ...
