Habitat Selection and Space Use
2022This review provides support for the role of both macro- and micro-scale factors driving habitat selection by the little bustard. At a regional scale, little bustard distribution shows a clear relationship with temperature-related variables, but also a strong conspecific attraction and a tendency to philopatry at a local scale, making it especially ...

Integrating sex-specific habitat use for conservation using habitat suitability models
Animal Conservation, 2011(Uploaded by Plazi for the Bat Literature Project) Divergent habitat utilization and niche partitioning can cause high degrees of ecological specialization even in generalist species. For example, sex-specific specialization results in differential habitat use, which, if neglected in monitoring studies, can lead to biased estimates of population sizes.

This chapter describes beaver habitat selection and modification activities. It discusses their unusual ability to modify environments to suit their needs, including lodge and dam construction, location selection for these structures, and alteration of vegetation. Historically beavers have been described as a forest species.

Oikos, 1981
We examine the effects of a species', and its competitor's, density on the choice of habitats exploited by the species in models where there is a cost of selecting only one habitat. The state space of the two species' densities is partitioned into regions where the species take either their preferred habitat (assumed in this paper to be different), or ...

Aquatic Ecosystem Health & Management, 2012
Diel migration patterns of fishes in nearshore (15–80 m depth) and offshore (>80 m) waters of Lake Superior were examined to assess the potential for diel migration to link benthic and pelagic, and nearshore and offshore habitats. In our companion article, we described three types of diel migration: diel vertical migration (DVM), diel bank ...

Bats and aquatic habitats: a review of habitat use and anthropogenic impacts
Mammal Review, 2016Abstract 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, 2008Abstract: 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, 2016Our 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, 2008Summary 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 ...
