Habitat selection in whiting [PDF]
Journal of Fish Biology, 2004 Given a choice of habitats in a laboratory experiment, whiting Merlangius merlangus preferentially spent most time over sand, then gravel and least time over a habitat with emergent structures. The introduction of a predator stimulus increased the preference for the sand habitat for large whiting, whereas small whiting had an increased preference for ...

Habitat-Selecting Life History
FishesAdaptive life histories emerge through their environmentally dependent effects on fitness. Those effects are consequences of habitat quality and the density-dependent decisions that organisms make on habitat choice. Density dependence for ideal organisms

Ecology and Evolution, 2019 Habitat selection theory suggests that when choosing breeding sites, animals should choose the best available habitat; however, studies show that individuals fail to choose habitats that maximize their fitness especially in drastically altered landscapes.

Grizzly bear habitat selection is scale dependent [PDF]
, 2007 The purpose of our study is to show how ecologists' interpretation of habitat selection by grizzly bears (Ursus arctos) is altered by the scale of observation and also how management questions would be best addressed using predetermined scales of ...

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

PLoS ONE, 2023 Various landscape and environmental factors influence animal movement and habitat selection. Lunar illumination affects nocturnal visual perception of many species and, consequently, may influence animal activity and habitat selection.

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

Habitat selection of female sharp-tailed grouse in grasslands managed for livestock production.
PLoS ONE, 2020 Habitat selection links individual behavior to population abundance and dynamics, so evaluation of habitat selection is necessary for conservation and management.
