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

Animal movement tools (amt): R package for managing tracking data and conducting habitat selection analyses [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2018 Advances in tracking technology have led to an exponential increase in animal location data, greatly enhancing our ability to address interesting questions in movement ecology, but also presenting new challenges related to data management and analysis ...

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.

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.

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 ...

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 patterns are density dependent under the ideal free distribution
Journal of Animal Ecology, 2020 Despite being widely used, habitat selection models are rarely reliable and informative when applied across different ecosystems or over time. One possible explanation is that habitat selection is context‐dependent due to variation in consumer density ...

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.

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 ...
