Habitat Selection ☆

2013
All organisms use habitat that varies across numerous scales of space and time. Consequently, the use of some habitats over others, and the rules that individuals use to make those choices, is a dominant theme in fields ranging from behavioral ecology to evolutionary biology. No standard definition exists for either habitat or habitat selection. To the

Habitat Selection and Space Use

2022
This review provides support for the role of both macro- and micro-scale factors driving habitat selection by the little bustard. At a regional scale, little bustard distribution shows a clear relationship with temperature-related variables, but also a strong conspecific attraction and a tendency to philopatry at a local scale, making it especially ...

Habitat selection and the perceptual trap

Ecological Applications, 2010
The concept of “ecological traps” was introduced over three decades ago. An ecological trap occurs when, by various mechanisms, low‐quality (yielding low fitness) habitat is more attractive than good habitat, thus coaxing individuals to settle there despite a resultant loss of fitness. Empirical work on such traps has increased dramatically in the past

The selection of habitats among the monogenea

International Journal for Parasitology, 1998
The pressures responsible for the selection of "non-ectoparasitic" habitats in the Monogenea are discussed. It is suggested that certain monogeneans have become internal to reduce the pressures exerted by predators of ectoparasites rather than to avoid competition with other ectoparasites or to have access to better resources.

Habitat Selection in a Clonal Plant

Science, 1985
Rhizomatous growth may permit the nonrandom placement of ramets into different environments, but whether clonal plants are able to use this means to exercise adaptive habitat choice is not known. Western ragweed (Ambrosia psilostachya) plants are shown to preferentially colonize nonsaline soil over saline soil patches, and clones with the strongest ...
