I want (my) children to sleep in a safe place: Experimental analysis of human sleeping site preferences from an evolutionary point of view [PDF]

, 2008
Based on evolutionary assumptions of habitat selection and parental investment, we predicted that adults choose sleeping sites (1) in which children have safer bed positions than the adults themselves and (2) in which own children have safer bed ...

Ecological niche modeling reveals habitat differentiation and climatic vulnerability in two imperiled, sympatric southern Appalachian carnivorous plants

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Understanding the habitat requirements of imperiled flora is critical for informing ex situ conservation practices, designing effective reintroduction strategies, and understanding how climate change will impact such species, especially in montane regions with high levels of environmental heterogeneity. In southern Appalachia, USA, the

Habitat selection, parasites and injuries in Amazonian crocodilians

, 1985
Caiman crocodilus is found most frequently in relatively warm, shallow or grassy areas in the larger rivers, lakes and canals of Amazonia. The habitats that it uses are increasing in area because of human activities.

High‐elevation endemic plants predicted to lose habitat from changing climate in Washington State

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise High‐elevation plants face unique challenges from potential climate change impacts that will likely require upslope migration into increasingly smaller suitable habitat. This situation is particularly acute for endemic species that by definition occupy small geographic ranges.

Advocating better habitat use and selection models in bird ecology [PDF]

, 2018
Studies on habitat use and habitat selection represent a basic aspect of bird ecology, due to its importance in natural history, distribution, response to environmental changes, management and conservation.

Interactions between maternal provisioning and natural selection on seed mass fluctuate across heat waves

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Changing climates are leading to more frequent and severe heat waves, potentially threatening plant populations. Both acclimation to stress and selection for heat‐escape or heat‐resistance phenotypes occur during heat waves. However, plastic responses and selection do not necessarily interact cohesively—even producing trait responses ...

Effects of tourism on seasonal movements and fine-scale habitat selection of African lions and spotted hyenas in Etosha National Park, Namibia

Global Ecology and Conservation
Understanding the drivers of habitat selection for apex predators, such as African lions (Panthera leo) and spotted hyenas (Crocuta crocuta), is a vital component of conservation efforts.

Individual heterogeneity in resource selection has implications for mortality risk in white‐tailed deer

Ecosphere, 2020
Individual animals vary in their selection of habitat as a function of sex, age, and experience. Such individual heterogeneity is important when decomposing segments of the population that may or may not respond to habitat or population management, or ...

Embedding Chemistry and Pharmacy Into Sustainability

Angewandte Chemie International Edition, EarlyView.
Chemistry and pharmacy provide products and processes that are indispensable for our high living standard. To understand their relationship with sustainability is important to allow them to contribute to sustainability in a sustainable manner. An integrated overview of green, circular, and sustainable chemistry and pharmacy is given and how they have t
