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.

Seasonal variation in habitat selection for a Neotropical migratory songbird using high‐resolution GPS tracking

open access: yesEcosphere, 2021
Deciphering how environmental heterogeneity affects population dynamics in migratory species is complicated by the redistribution of individuals in time and space across the annual cycle.

Influence of Tree Species on Frequency of Trap-Nest Use by \u3ci\u3ePassaloecus\u3c/i\u3e Species (Hymenoptera: Sphecidae) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Habitat selection by Passaloecus spp. based upon tree species used as stations for artificial nesting sites were studied. Data suggest that Passaloecus areolatus preferred Juglans and that P.

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.

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 ...

Differential Functional Constraints Cause Strain-Level Endemism in Polynucleobacter Populations. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
The adaptation of bacterial lineages to local environmental conditions creates the potential for broader genotypic diversity within a species, which can enable a species to dominate across ecological gradients because of niche flexibility.

Combining Regional Habitat Selection Models for Large-Scale Prediction: Circumpolar Habitat Selection of Southern Ocean Humpback Whales

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2021
Machine learning algorithms are often used to model and predict animal habitat selection—the relationships between animal occurrences and habitat characteristics.

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 ...

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

Phytochemistry Predicts Habitat Selection by an Avian Herbivore at Multiple Spatial Scales [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Animal habitat selection is a process that functions at multiple, hierarchically structured spatial scales. Thus multi-scale analyses should be the basis for inferences about factors driving the habitat selection process.
