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.

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.

Habitat selection and potential fitness consequences of two early‐successional species with differing life‐history strategies

Ecology and Evolution, 2019
Habitat selection and its relationship to fitness is a fundamental concept in ecology, but the mechanisms driving this connection are complex and difficult to detect.

Territorial landscapes: incorporating density-dependence into wolf habitat selection studies [PDF]

Royal Society Open Science, 2019
Habitat selection is a process that spans space, time and individual life histories. Ecological analyses of animal distributions and preferences are most accurate when they account for inherent dynamics of the habitat selection process.

Defining the scale of habitat availability for models of habitat selection [PDF]

Ecology, 2016
AbstractStatistical models of habitat preference and species distribution (e.g., Resource Selection Functions and Maximum Entropy approaches) perform a quantitative comparison of the use of space with the availability of all habitats in an animal's environment.

High interindividual variability in habitat selection and functional habitat relationships in European nightjars over a period of habitat change

Ecology and Evolution, 2020
An animal's choice of foraging habitat reflects its response to environmental cues and is likely to vary among individuals in a population. Analyzing the magnitude of individual habitat selection can indicate how resilient populations may be to ...
