Microhabitat selection by giant pandas

Biological Conservation, 2020
Abstract Understanding habitat selection is important for effective habitat management and recovery of species. However, many habitat selection studies are based on presence and absence data and do not differentiate the intensity of use and its association with fine-scale habitat characteristics.

Importance of Host Abundance and Microhabitat in Tick Abundance

Journal of Medical Entomology, 2022
AbstractTo reduce the risk of zoonoses, it is necessary to understand the infection process, including the ecology of animals and vectors (i.e., the ‘One Health’ approach). In temperate climates, ticks are the major vectors of zoonoses, so factors determining their abundance, such as host mammal abundance and microhabitat conditions, should be ...

Microhabitat use of the diamond darter

Ecology of Freshwater Fish, 2013
AbstractThe only known extant population of the diamond darter (Crystallaria cincotta) exists in the lower 37 km of Elk River, WV, USA. Our understanding of diamond darter habitat use was previously limited, because few individuals have been observed during sampling with conventional gears.

An experimental study of microhabitat selection and microhabitat shifts in European tadpoles

Amphibia-Reptilia, 1988
The presence or absence of heterospecific tadpoles or of vegetation and changes in population density influenced the microhabitat distribution of 5 sympatric tadpole species in laboratory experiments. Most species, except Hyla a. arborea, occupied the bottom of the aquaria.

Cercopid Spittle as a Microhabitat

Oikos, 1970
Some observations and experiments are described which support the generally accepted view that >>cuckoo-spit< has the function of protecting cercopid nymphs from desiccation, natural enemies and also from high temperatures. Although the nymphs do not control the quantity of spittle produced, evaporation rate gradients ensure that spittles are largest ...

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 ...

Microhabitat selection and thermoregulation in amazonian dragonflies

Journal of Thermal Biology
Insect eco-physiological traits are important for understanding their distribution and habitat selection, especially in the face of land use change. We estimated the average temperature of the thoracic surface of 20 Odonata (Insecta) species and classified them into thermoregulation categories according to their preferences for sunny or shaded habitats
