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

Royal 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]

Ecology, 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.

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

, 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.

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

Ecology 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

Wildlife 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.

PLoS 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

Animals, 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]

, 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.)).

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

Fishes
Adaptive 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
