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.

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

open access: yesRoyal 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]

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.

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 ...

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 ...

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.

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

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.)).

Multiple habitat associations: the role of offsite habitat in determining onsite avian species density [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Many animal populations continue to decline despite occurring in protected areas or on sympathetically managed sites. Frequently, this is because a specific habitat patch may not fulfil all the niche requirements of a threatened species.
