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

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.

Project-specific bumble bee habitat quality assessment. [PDF]
MethodsXThe listing of Bombus affinis Cresson 1863 (Rusty Patched Bumble Bee; RPBB) in 2017 under the Endangered Species Act (ESA) created a regulatory need for assessment methods, in order to limit take of this species by construction and development. As the first social insect listed under the ESA, the listing of RPBB has required new methods for biological ...
