Density‐dependence by habitat heterogeneity: individual quality versus territory quality [PDF]
Oikos, 2008 The aim of this comment is to review the ecological issues concerning the role of individual and habitat heterogeneity as possible mechanisms explaining density‐dependent fecundity in animal populations. Our intention is to discuss different approaches to determine whether or not studied populations are subjected to density‐dependent processes and ...

Are hedgerows effective corridors between fragments of woodland habitat? An evidence-based approach [PDF]
, 2007 Anthropogenic modification of the countryside has resulted in much of the landscape consisting of fragments of once continuous habitat. Increasing habitat connectivity at the landscape-scale has a vital role to play in the conservation of species ...

Rapid response of vascular plants and insects to restoration of montane grasslands
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023 IntroductionIndustrialization has ushered in massive changes in agriculture. Particularly in low mountain ranges, large-scale afforestation with Norway spruce on traditionally managed, semi-natural grasslands has caused a severe decline in biodiversity ...

Measuring Habitat Quality: A Review [PDF]
The Condor, 2007 AbstractAbstract. Understanding habitat quality for birds is crucial for ecologists and managers, but few papers have explored the advantages and disadvantages of different ways to measure it. In this review I clarify terminology and distinguish habitat quality from related terms, differentiate habitat quality at the levels of individual birds and ...

Effect of habitat quality on diet flexibility in Barbary macaques [PDF]
American Journal of Primatology, 2014 Barbary macaques live in extreme temperate environments characterized by strongly seasonal resource availability. They are mainly terrestrial while foraging, harvesting food from the herbaceous layer. These monkeys are threatened mainly because of anthropogenic habitat degradation.

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.

Habitat Selection and Risk of Predation: Re-colonization by Lynx had Limited Impact on Habitat Selection by Roe Deer [PDF]
, 2013 Risk of predation is an evolutionary force that affects behaviors of virtually all animals. In this study, we examined how habitat selection by roe deer was affected by risk of predation by Eurasian lynx - the main predator of roe deer in Scandinavia ...

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.The presence of biotin‐binding avidin proteins in fish and their biological significance are poorly characterized. We cataloged fish avidins and demonstrate that they are widely present and evolutionarily conserved. We created avd knockout zebrafish and show that zebavidin is dispensable for development and that resistance of avd knockout embryos in ...
