Projecting Future Land Use Evolution and Its Effect on Spatiotemporal Patterns of Habitat Quality in China

Applied Sciences
In recent years, irrational land development has caused significant habitat quality problems. Previous habitat quality studies have mainly concentrated on medium- and small-sized areas, and few studies have conducted a comprehensive long-term analysis of

Density-dependent, central-place foraging in a grazing herbivore: competition and tradeoffs in time allocation near water [PDF]

, 2015
Optimal foraging theory addresses one of the core challenges of ecology: predicting the distribution and abundance of species. Tests of hypotheses of optimal foraging, however, often focus on a single conceptual model rather than drawing upon the ...

Trends in habitat quality and habitat degradation in terrestrial protected areas

Conservation Biology
Abstract Protected areas are typically considered a cornerstone of conservation programs and play a fundamental role in protecting natural areas and biodiversity. Human‐driven land‐use and land‐cover (LULC) changes lead to habitat loss and biodiversity loss inside protected areas, impairing their effectiveness.

A method for detecting undervalued resources with application to breeding birds [PDF]

, 2010
Anthropogenic changes to ecosystems can decouple habitat selection and quality, a phenomenon well illustrated by ecological traps in which individuals mistakenly prefer low-quality habitats.

Decreased cold‐sensing function of the transient receptor potential channel TRPM8 from tailed amphibians

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Despite frogs avoiding low temperatures, examination of four salamander species revealed that none avoided cold and all possessed cold tolerance. Functional analysis of TRPM8, a cold sensor, showed that all salamander TRPM8s had lost their cold sensitivity.

Evaluating the effects of land management policy on waterbird habitats in the Liaohe River Delta wetland

International Journal of Digital Earth
The effects of land use change on waterbird habitat have not been thoroughly studied. We used the PLUS model and InVEST model, remote sensing data, and waterbird monitoring data to explore changes in habitat for geese, ducks, shorebirds, gulls, and ...

Physical habitat quality and interspecific competition interact to influence territory settlement and reproductive success in a cavity nesting bird

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2014
Determining how to best measure habitat quality is essential for many conservation plans and basic ecological questions. Territory quality is thought to be a product of physical habitat characteristics (i.e.

Inferring process from pattern: Can territory occupancy provide information about life history parameters? [PDF]

, 2001
A significant problem in wildlife management is identifying "good" habitat for species within the short time frames demanded by policy makers. Statistical models of the response of species presence/absence to predictor variables are one solution, widely ...

Development of a Prediction Model for Progression Risk in High‐Grade Gliomas Based on Habitat Radiomics and Pathomics

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To investigate the value of constructing models based on habitat radiomics and pathomics for predicting the risk of progression in high‐grade gliomas. Methods This study conducted a retrospective analysis of preoperative magnetic resonance (MR) images and pathological sections from 72 patients diagnosed with high‐grade gliomas (52 ...
