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

open access: yesScientific 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.

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

open access: yesEcology, 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.

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

open access: yesEcology 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.

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

open access: yesEcosphere, 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.

Propagule limitation, disparate habitat quality, and variation in phenotypic selection at a local species range boundary.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
Adaptation to novel conditions beyond current range boundaries requires the presence of suitable sites within dispersal range, but may be impeded when emigrants encounter poor habitat and sharply different selection pressures.

Habitat selection and indirect interactions in fish ommunities [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
To increase the understanding of freshwater lake ecosystems, I have studied the habitat selection of perch (Perca fluviatilis L.), roach (Rutilus rutilus (L.)), and vendace (Coregonus albula (L.)).

A comparison of ultrasonic detectors and radiotelemetry for studying bat–habitat relationships

open access: yesWildlife Society Bulletin, 2011
Ultrasonic bat detectors and radiotelemetry are 2 methods used to examine habitat selection for bats, but no one has empirically examined if conclusions drawn from these 2 methods are comparable and, although previous work has presented concerns ...

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

open access: yesEcology 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 ...

Integrating Livestock Grazing and Sympatric Takin to Evaluate the Habitat Suitability of Giant Panda in the Wanglang Nature Reserve

open access: yesAnimals, 2021
Habitat suitability provides essential information for the management of protected species. However, studies that jointly consider the impacts of human disturbance and sympatric animals in habitat suitability assessments of giant panda are limited, which
