Microhabitat and niche separation in species ofCeratiomyxa

Mycologia, 2008
The eumycetozoan genus Ceratiomyxa appears to have a cosmopolitan distribution, although two of the three macroscopic species within the genus have been reported only from tropical regions of the world. In theory these two tropical species might be expected to display more narrow niches than their cosmopolitan counterpart due to their specialization ...

Bacteria and protozoa in soil microhabitats as affected by earthworms

Biology and Fertility of Soils, 1997
The effects of incorporation of elm leaves (Ulmus glabra) into an agricultural sandy loam soil by earthworms (Lumbricus festivus) on the bacterial and protozoan populations were investigated. Three model systems consisting of soil, soil with leaves, and soil with leaves and earthworms, respectively, were compared.

Microhabitat selection in two Chilean cricetid rodents

Oecologia, 1982
A discriminant analysis on vegetational variables was performed in order to determine differences in habitat utilization by two sympatric Chilean rodents. Akodon olivaceus brachiotis is associated with vegetational variables that provide greater cover from above.

Seasonality and microhabitat selection in a forest-dwelling salamander

The Science of Nature, 2017
Many small terrestrial vertebrates exhibit limited spatial movement and are considerably exposed to changes in local environmental variables. Among such vertebrates, amphibians at present experience a dramatic decline due to their limited resilience to environmental change.

Microhabitats of a Terrestrial Forest Salamander

Copeia, 1980
The above-ground density of Plethodon cinereus did not vary over 22 sampling days during spring and summer, even during seven-day periods without rain. Surface density was not correlated with amount of rainfall, but microhabitat choice was so correlated: the percentage of salamanders under rocks and logs increased and the percentage in the leaf litter ...

Microhabitats reduce animal's exposure to climate extremes

Global Change Biology, 2013
AbstractExtreme weather events, such as unusually hot or dry conditions, can cause death by exceeding physiological limits, and so cause loss of population. Survival will depend on whether or not susceptible organisms can find refuges that buffer extreme conditions.

Zoological microhabitats of Vibrio cholerae

1996
Despite considerable research, the routes of transmission and the basis for the seasonal and pandemic cycles of cholera have not been explained. Those areas of the world where clinical cholera cases appear without apparent importation on a regular seasonal basis are endemic foci for cholera.

The microhabitat methodology: protocoles for application

1995
Ce rapport présente et compare les protocoles d'application de la méthode des microhabitats préconisés par le Cemagref et la Direction des Etudes et Recherches d'EDF, méthode utilisée pour définir l'influence de la valeur du débit réservé dans un tronçon de rivière donné sur la capacité d'accueil pour la truite fario ou le saumon atlantique.
