Habitat selection and risk of predation: re-colonization by lynx had limited impact on habitat selection by roe deer. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 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 ...

Effects of the social environment on movement-integrated habitat selection [PDF]

Movement Ecology
Background Movement links the distribution of habitats with the social environment of animals using those habitats. Despite the links between movement, habitat selection, and socioecology, their integration remains a challenge due to lack of shared ...

A highly variable habitat selection in moose across diel and seasonal scales [PDF]

Movement Ecology
Purpose Habitat selection in animals is a hierarchal process that operates across multiple temporal and spatial scales, adapting to changes in environmental conditions, human disturbances, and predation risks.

Waterbird Foraging Habitat Selection in Balikpapan Bay: Water Depth and Patch Area as Important Factors

Hayati Journal of Biosciences, 2021
Balikpapan Bay is one of the wetlands providing potential foraging habitat for waterbirds in Indonesia. Potential habitat loss due to oil industry expansion, recent waterbird occurrence, and co-occurrence of two closely related species with similar ...

Interacting gradients of selection and survival probabilities to estimate habitat quality: An example using the Gray Vireo (Vireo vicinior)

Ecological Indicators, 2021
Common approaches to estimating habitat quality are habitat suitability indices, which are often subjective. We propose a quantitative definition of habitat quality as the percentage of selected habitat that has a high probability of contributing to ...

Does learning or instinct shape habitat selection? [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Habitat selection is an important behavioural process widely studied for its population-level effects. Models of habitat selection are, however, often fit without a mechanistic consideration.

Prey and habitat distribution are not enough to explain predator habitat selection: addressing intraspecific interactions, behavioural state and time

Movement Ecology, 2021
Background Movements and habitat selection of predators shape ecological communities by determining the spatiotemporal distribution of predation risk.

Habitat selection of resident and non-resident gray wolves: implications for habitat connectivity

Scientific Reports, 2023
Habitat selection studies facilitate assessing and predicting species distributions and habitat connectivity, but habitat selection can vary temporally and among individuals, which is often ignored.

Do greater sage‐grouse exhibit maladaptive habitat selection?

Ecosphere, 2021
Maladaptive habitat selection, where animals select habitat with reduced fitness potential or avoid otherwise suitable habitat, exacerbates the threat of population decline for species vulnerable from habitat loss and fragmentation.

Habitat selection by American beaver at multiple spatial scales

Animal Biotelemetry, 2019
Background Semiaquatic mammals require both aquatic and terrestrial habitats, particularly interfaces between the two habitats. As ecosystem engineers, American beaver (Castor canadensis) consume and fell a great amount of deciduous trees.
