Body condition and habitat use by Hermann's tortoises in burnt and intact habitats [PDF]

Conservation Physiology, 2014
In Mediterranean regions, fires threaten terrestrial tortoises. Nevertheless, varying proportions of adults survive fire; these surviving individuals can play a central role for population recovery. The regions devastated by fire often include important habitat of Hermann's tortoises (Testudo hermanni hermanni), so assessing the ability of survivors to

Connectivity, Integration, and Entropy measurements to assess: Visual perception of city users, urban quality, and growth [PDF]

International Journal of Human Capital in Urban Management
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Batna city's road network has evolved due to various factors, particularly residents’ practices and movements, which have shaped the city’s routes and spatial hierarchies.

Sex, landscape diversity and primary productivity shape the seasonal space use of a migratory European raptor

Journal of Avian Biology, 2022
Intrinsic and extrinsic drivers shape the space use of wide‐ranging raptors. A large proportion of raptors are migrants that shift their activity ranges between summer and winter habitats, where they encounter different environmental conditions ...

Multiple habitat associations: the role of offsite habitat in determining onsite avian species density [PDF]

, 2012
Many animal populations continue to decline despite occurring in protected areas or on sympathetically managed sites. Frequently, this is because a specific habitat patch may not fulfil all the niche requirements of a threatened species.

Modelling space-use and habitat preference from wildlife telemetry data [PDF]

, 2007
Management and conservation of populations of animals requires information on where they are, why they are there, and where else they could be. These objectives are typically approached by collecting data on the animals’ use of space, relating these to

Habitat Selection and Risk of Predation: Re-colonization by Lynx had Limited Impact on Habitat Selection by Roe Deer [PDF]

, 2013
Risk of predation is an evolutionary force that affects behaviors of virtually all animals. In this study, we examined how habitat selection by roe deer was affected by risk of predation by Eurasian lynx - the main predator of roe deer in Scandinavia ...

Specialization in habitat use by coral reef damselfishes and their susceptibility to habitat loss [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution, 2012
AbstractWhile it is generally assumed that specialist species are more vulnerable to disturbance compared with generalist counterparts, this has rarely been tested in coastal marine ecosystems, which are increasingly subject to a wide range of natural and anthropogenic disturbances. Habitat specialists are expected to be more vulnerable to habitat loss

Habitat selection and indirect interactions in fish ommunities [PDF]

, 2013
To increase the understanding of freshwater lake ecosystems, I have studied the habitat selection of perch (Perca fluviatilis L.), roach (Rutilus rutilus (L.)), and vendace (Coregonus albula (L.)).

A General Approach for the Analysis of Habitat Selection [PDF]

, 2007
Investigating habitat selection of animals aims at the detection of preferred and avoided habitat types as well as at the identification of covariates influencing the choice of certain habitat types.
