Phenotypic divergence across populations does not affect habitat selection in an Amazonian poison frog

Global Ecology and Conservation
Understanding intraspecific variation in habitat selection by polytypic species, where distinct variants occur in separate populations, can improve our knowledge of population-specific selective pressures and inform conservation measures.

Determining factor in habitat selection of Paracobitis iranica (Nalbant & Bianco 1998) population in Kordan River, Namak Lake Basin, Iran [PDF]

بوم‌شناسی آبزیان, 2014
Considering the fact that fish biodiversity conservation and land uses planning, require reliable information about fish distribution and habitat use patterns In order to describe species habitat properties, habitat use and habitat selectivity indices ...

Modelling individual variability in habitat selection and movement using integrated step‐selection analysis

Methods in Ecology and Evolution
Integrated step‐selection analysis (ISSA) is frequently used to study habitat selection using animal movement data. Methods for incorporating random effects in ISSA have been developed, making it possible to quantify variability among animals in their ...

Spatial ecology and habitat selection of Eastern Pinesnakes: Case study on the importance of scale in conservation biology

Global Ecology and Conservation
Species are in decline world-wide, driven by multiple factors including habitat fragmentation. Understanding the habitat selection processes of species in these fragmented landscapes has become a focus of ecological studies and is a major component of ...

Habitat Selection and Mating Success in a Mustelid

International Journal of Zoology, 2011
Habitat selection remains a poorly understood ecological process, but relating mating behaviour to pattern of habitat selection constitutes a fundamental issue both in evolutionary ecology and in biological conservation.

Effects of tourism on seasonal movements and fine-scale habitat selection of African lions and spotted hyenas in Etosha National Park, Namibia

Global Ecology and Conservation
Understanding the drivers of habitat selection for apex predators, such as African lions (Panthera leo) and spotted hyenas (Crocuta crocuta), is a vital component of conservation efforts.

Individual heterogeneity in resource selection has implications for mortality risk in white‐tailed deer

Ecosphere, 2020
Individual animals vary in their selection of habitat as a function of sex, age, and experience. Such individual heterogeneity is important when decomposing segments of the population that may or may not respond to habitat or population management, or ...

Seasonal variation in microhabitat of salamanders: environmental variation or shift of habitat selection?

PeerJ, 2015
Relationships between species and their habitats are not always constant. Different processes may determine changes in species-habitat association: individuals may prefer different habitat typologies in different periods, or they may be forced to occupy ...

Habitat Use and Selection by Giant Pandas

PLoS ONE, 2016
Animals make choices about where to spend their time in complex and dynamic landscapes, choices that reveal information about their biology that in turn can be used to guide their conservation.

Habitat selection during ungulate dispersal and exploratory movement at broad and fine scale with implications for conservation management

Movement Ecology, 2014
Dispersal has a critical influence on demography and gene flow and as such maintaining connectivity between populations is an essential element of modern conservation.
