BIOTA QUALITY: A RIPARIAN HABITAT MODEL
1981This paper presents a model for defining and measuring biota quality for the purpose of assessing the impacts of resource development plans on biota quality. The model uses the habitat approach and concentrates on the riparian system. The means to measure the parts of a riparian system, weight the importance of the various parts, and produce an overall

Coastal habitats are threatened worldwide by habitat loss and degradation. These habitats play a crucial role as fish nurseries. Unfortunately, it is difficult to determine the impact of habitat degradation for many species because data are lacking on early life history metrics including growth (0.07 ± 0.04 SE mm/day in this study), survival (apparent ...

Assessing Habitat Quality for a Migratory Songbird Wintering in Natural and Agricultural Habitats
Conservation Biology, 2006Abstract: As tropical forests are cleared, a greater proportion of migratory songbirds are forced to winter in agricultural and disturbed habitats, which, if poorer in quality than natural forests, could contribute to population declines. We compared demographic indicators of habitat quality for a focal species,

Distinguishing individual quality from habitat preference and quality in a territorial passerine
Ecology, 2014Theory predicts that animals breeding in heterogeneous landscapes preferentially occupy habitats likely to maximize individual fitness, but identifying those habitats has proved problematic. Many studies develop metrics of habitat quality linked to site‐specific reproductive output measured in successive years, but few separate the independent effects ...

What is habitat quality? Dissecting a research portfolio on shorebirds
2012It is intriguing that the fourth edition of the main British ecology textbook Ecology: From Individuals to Ecosystems (Begon et al., 2006) does not include habitat selection or habitat choice amongst the keywords in the subject index. What can be found is the word niche.

Patch occupancy of grassland specialists: Habitat quality matters more than habitat connectivity
Biological Conservation, 2018Abstract Land-use change has caused degradation, loss and fragmentation of semi-natural habitats, especially in grassland ecosystems. Today, the remaining habitats are often situated in a matrix of intensively used agricultural land and are therefore more or less isolated from each other.

Journal of Environmental Quality, 2007
AbstractThe influence of specific stressors, such as nutrient enrichment and physical habitat degradation, on biotic integrity requires further attention in Midwestern streams. We sampled 53 streams throughout Illinois and examined relationships between macroinvertebrate community structure and numerous physicochemical parameters.

Habitat quality and reproductive investment in aphids
Ecological Entomology, 1988ABSTRACT. Genetically identical vetch aphids, Megoura viciae (Buckton), showed a weak but significant positive relationship between reproductive investment (number of ovarioles) and ...
