Determining habitat quality for species that demonstrate dynamic habitat selection [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2015 AbstractDetermining habitat quality for wildlife populations requires relating a species' habitat to its survival and reproduction. Within a season, species occurrence and density can be disconnected from measures of habitat quality when resources are highly seasonal, unpredictable over time, and patchy. Here we establish an explicit link among dynamic

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.
