Extracting predictive models from marked-p free-text documents at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, London [PDF]
, 2014 In this paper we explore the combination of text-mining, un-supervised and supervised learning to extract predictive models from a corpus of digitised historical floras.

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

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 ...

Used-habitat calibration plots: a new procedure for validating species distribution, resource selection, and step-selection models [PDF]
, 2018 “Species distribution modeling” was recently ranked as one of the top five “research fronts” in ecology and the environmental sciences by ISI's Essential Science Indicators (Renner and Warton 2013), reflecting the importance of predicting how species ...

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

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.

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.

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.Despite frogs avoiding low temperatures, examination of four salamander species revealed that none avoided cold and all possessed cold tolerance. Functional analysis of TRPM8, a cold sensor, showed that all salamander TRPM8s had lost their cold sensitivity.

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.
