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.

Habitat choice for narrowly distributed species: Multiple spatial scales of habitat selection for the Mangshan pit viper

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2023
Understanding habitat demand is key to in situ fauna conservation. While there is increasing evidence of the importance of habitat selection research at multiple spatial scales, snake habitat research has typically neglected the rationality of selecting ...

Invasion of annual grasses following wildfire corresponds to maladaptive habitat selection by a sagebrush ecosystem indicator species

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2022
Numerous wildlife species within semi-arid shrubland ecosystems across western North America are experiencing substantial habitat loss and fragmentation.

A General Approach for the Analysis of Habitat Selection [PDF]

, 2007
Investigating habitat selection of animals aims at the detection of preferred and avoided habitat types as well as at the identification of covariates influencing the choice of certain habitat types.

HABITAT SELECTION AS AN EVOLUTIONARY GAME [PDF]

Evolution, 1990
Under habitat selection, mobile foragers may not only possess behavioral flexibility that allows them to utilize habitats selectively or opportunistically, but they may also possess heritable traits that influence their performance within each habitat.

What wild dogs want: habitat selection differs across life stages and orders of selection in a wide-ranging carnivore

BMC Zoology, 2020
Background Habitat loss is a key threat to the survival of many species. Habitat selection studies provide key information for conservation initiatives by identifying important habitat and anthropogenic characteristics influencing the distribution of ...

Seasonal variation in habitat selection for a Neotropical migratory songbird using high‐resolution GPS tracking

Ecosphere, 2021
Deciphering how environmental heterogeneity affects population dynamics in migratory species is complicated by the redistribution of individuals in time and space across the annual cycle.

Same habitat types but different use: evidence of context-dependent habitat selection in roe deer across populations

Scientific Reports, 2018
With the surge of GPS-technology, many studies uncovered space use of mobile animals and shed light on the underlying behavioral mechanisms of habitat selection.

Multiple habitat associations: the role of offsite habitat in determining onsite avian species density [PDF]

, 2012
Many animal populations continue to decline despite occurring in protected areas or on sympathetically managed sites. Frequently, this is because a specific habitat patch may not fulfil all the niche requirements of a threatened species.
