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.

SMALL MAMMAL USE OF MICROHABITAT REVIEWED [PDF]

Journal of Mammalogy, 2004
Small mammal microhabitat research has greatly influenced vertebrate community ecologists. There exists a “microhabitat paradigm” that states that sympatry among small mammal species is enabled by differential use of microhabitat (i.e., microhabitat partitioning).

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 ...
