Scale-Dependent Habitat Selection and Size-Based Dominance in Adult Male American Alligators.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2016
Habitat selection is an active behavioral process that may vary across spatial and temporal scales. Animals choose an area of primary utilization (i.e., home range) then make decisions focused on resource needs within patches.

Spatiotemporal predictions of the alternative prey hypothesis: Predator habitat use during decreasing prey abundance

open access: yesEcosphere, 2023
The alternative prey hypothesis supposes that predators supported by a primary prey species will shift to consume alternative prey during a decrease in primary prey abundance.

Ontogenetic and spatial variations in brown trout habitat selection

open access: yes, 2010
Habitat quality and quantity determine many biological processes and traits that directly affect the population dynamics of stream fishes. Understanding how habitat selection is adjusted to different ecological conditions is essential to improve ...

Structural and biochemical insights into the thermostable esterase Ta0887 from Thermoplasma acidophilum

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
In this study, a novel esterase from the thermoacidophilic archaeon Thermoplasma acidophilum was biochemically and structurally characterized. Our results demonstrate that Ta0887 is a highly thermostable esterase that preferentially hydrolyzes p‐nitrophenyl hexanoate and possesses an α‐helical cap domain that likely contributes to its substrate ...

Long‐ and short‐term temporal variability in habitat selection of a top predator

open access: yesEcosphere, 2015
Considerable theory explains the importance of understanding temporal variation in ecological processes. Nevertheless, long‐term variability in habitat selection is rarely assessed or even acknowledged.

Habitat selection of female sharp-tailed grouse in grasslands managed for livestock production.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2020
Habitat selection links individual behavior to population abundance and dynamics, so evaluation of habitat selection is necessary for conservation and management.

Fine‐scale foraging habitat selection by two diving central place foragers in the Northeast Atlantic

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2021
Habitat selection and spatial usage are important components of animal behavior influencing fitness and population dynamic. Understanding the animal–habitat relationship is crucial in ecology, particularly in developing strategies for wildlife management

Manley’s selection ratio (± 95% CI) of habitat selection for 14 Blanding’s turtles.

open access: yes, 2023
Habitat classes with both upper and lower confidence intervals above (positive selection) or below (negative selection) the selection ratio of 1 are considered to have significant selection.

Characterization of the key membrane protein cytochrome Cyc2 from Ghiorsea bivora

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
This study reports the first detailed biochemical analysis of Cyc2TAG1_1, a cytochrome protein involved in microbial iron oxidation. We produced and purified this enzyme in E. coli, then measured its iron‐oxidizing efficiency, and characterized its electrical and structural properties.
