The American Naturalist, 1991
Habitat-selection concepts have rarely been explicitly used for plants, perhaps because the majority of them are immobile. For plants, habitat selection results from evolutionary adjustment of species to environmental factors so that the species functions better in some habitats than in others.

Habitat selection and territoriality
2018Insects dominate virtually all terrestrial and freshwater habitats on earth. This chapter reviews insect habitat selection, focusing on the occupation and defence of mating sites. First the adaptive basis of mating systems, sex roles, and behaviors in regard to habitat are established, then site occupation and defence in territorial species is explored.

Nature, 1974
HABITAT selection has important ecological and evolutionary consequences for birds as for other animals1–4, yet although there is abundant evidence from natural observation that it occurs, little is known of the cues by which habitats are recognised, nor the role of experience in determining such preferences5–10.

Habitat selection by helminths: a hypothesis
Parasitology Today, 1990How do liver worms find the liver? Why are heartworms always found in the heart? Attempts to answer these questions have invariably yielded inconclusive results. A major problem has been the use of models or hypotheses derived from studies of free-living organisms.

Habitat selection in a variable environment
Journal of Theoretical Biology, 1973Abstract A Monte Carlo simulation scheme was utilized to determine optimal strategies of habitat utilization in a variable environment. The model allows for differences in quality among habitats at any one time and for varying levels of environmental variance and autocorrelation. When habitats are on the average equal in quality, tracking of temporal

Habitat Selection in a Clonal Plant
Science, 1985Rhizomatous growth may permit the nonrandom placement of ramets into different environments, but whether clonal plants are able to use this means to exercise adaptive habitat choice is not known. Western ragweed (Ambrosia psilostachya) plants are shown to preferentially colonize nonsaline soil over saline soil patches, and clones with the strongest ...

Habitat Selection and Dispersal
2017Spiders can be roughly grouped into four guilds based on their manner of foraging: web builders, ambushers, wandering spiders, and refuge builders. These guilds have different needs that influence the choice of a site when focused on foraging, shelter, or reproduction.
