Habitat quality, not habitat amount, drives mammalian habitat use in the Brazilian Pantanal
Landscape Ecology, 2021 An understanding of species-habitat relationships is required to assess the impacts of habitat fragmentation and degradation. To date, habitat modeling in fragmented landscapes has relied on landscape composition and configuration metrics and the importance of habitat quality in determining species distributions has not been sufficiently explored.
