Bats and aquatic habitats: a review of habitat use and anthropogenic impacts

Mammal Review, 2016
Abstract Many bats use aquatic habitats for foraging and for drinking water. Interactions between aquatic and terrestrial systems are important for understanding food web dynamics and for conserving species and ecosystems. Therefore, in this review, I examined the data available on bats’ use of aquatic habitats.

Habitat Use and Life History as Predictors of Bird Responses to Habitat Change

Conservation Biology, 2008
Abstract:  In theory the consideration of life‐history characteristics should provide a way of making predictive generalizations about the responses of different species to environmental modification. Nevertheless, few studies have tested the validity of this assumption or attempted to apply it across large ...

Watershed Land Use and Local Habitat: Implications for Habitat Assessment

Wetlands, 2016
Our understanding of anthropogenic stressor effects on wetland biota and ecosystem processes would benefit from better defined relationships between landscape and local stressors. We assessed the connection between watershed land use and local habitat and local disturbance in Great Lakes coastal ecosystems across a full range of anthropogenic stress ...

A novel method for quantifying habitat selection and predicting habitat use

Journal of Applied Ecology, 2008
Summary 1. The study of habitat selection and habitat use are crucial for understanding the biological requirements of animals and the strategies they use to fulfil their needs. A variety of statistical techniques are available to quantify habitat selection, most of them based on the comparison of habitat attributes in sites used by the animals and in ...

Refining the Use of Habitat Equivalency Analysis

Environmental Management, 2007
When natural resources are injured or destroyed in violation of certain U.S. federal or state statutes, government agencies have the responsibility to ensure the public is compensated through ecological restoration for the loss of the natural resources and services they provide.

Strategies of Habitat Use by Mountain Gorillas

Folia Primatologica, 1991
Patterns of home range use by a mountain gorilla group are examined here in relation to variation in food abundance and quality, diet quality and rainfall, to interactions between different social units and to the distribution of hazards (poaching risk).

Habitat-Net: Habitat interpretation using deep neural nets

2018
Biological diversity is decreasing at a rate of 100-1000 times pre-human rates [1] [2], and tropical rainforests are among the most vulnerable ecosystems. To avoid species extinction, we need to understand factors influencing the occurrence of species.

Assessing Habitat Use and Movement

2004
Sharks occur in all of the world oceans and in waters that include deep-sea, oceanic, neritic, and estuarine habitats. In addition, a few specialized species also occur in rivers and lakes connected to the ocean. The occurrence of sharks within these broad regions is well understood for most species.

Evolutionary dynamics of habitat use

Evolutionary Ecology, 1997
I examine the evolution of alternate genotypes that use two habitats that differ in vegetative cover, focusing on the interplay between ecological dynamics of the community and changes in selective advantage. Facultative habitat choice can stabilize a predator population that would cycle if isolated in the more open habitat.
