Testing behavioural “preference” for suitable microhabitat
Journal of Experimental Marine Biology and Ecology, 1998Abstract Patterns of distribution with respect to microhabitat do not necessarily reflect the “preferred” situation for a given species. Carefully controlled experiments are required to test the model that behaviour rather than processes of recruitment or mortality maintains the pattern.

Zoological microhabitats of Vibrio cholerae
1996Despite 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.

Microhabitat selection and thermoregulation in amazonian dragonflies
Journal of Thermal BiologyInsect 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

Dictyostelids from aerial “canopy soil” microhabitats
Fungal Ecology, 2011Abstract The leaf litter decomposition zone of forest soils is generally considered as the primary microhabitat for dictyostelid cellular slime molds (dictyostelids), but these organisms also occur in other types of soils and are sometimes coprophilous.

Liolaemus ditadai (NCN): Extreme microhabitat
2020Liolaemus ditadai is a poorly known lizard species, distributed in Salinas Grandes and Salinas de Ambargasta salt flats located in centralnorthern Argentina (Ávila et al. 2015. Check List 11:1710). It is found exclusively in the halophytic vegetation typical of the border of the salt plain, composed by Heterostachys ritteriana and Allenrolfea ...

Manufactured Soil Aggregates for Studying Microhabitats
2020<p>Environmental perturbation, anthropogenic or otherwise, can have a profound effect on soil microbiota and essential biogeochemical processes. The general resistance and adaptation of yeasts and other fungi to stressors has been well studied in vitro however, the influence of key physical variables, such as how soil structure ...

Microhabitat of Anthopotamus verticis (Ephemeroptera: Potamanthidae)
Hydrobiologia, 1994A field and laboratory study was designed to elucidate the microhabitat of the North American riverine mayfly Anthopotamus verticis (Say). Previous reports have suggested that these mayflies are surface sprawlers or clingers; but despite a flattened body shape that is often associated with sprawling or clinging benthos, our investigation showed that ...

Butterflies select microhabitats on building walls
Landscape and Urban Planning, 1997Abstract We recorded the frequency of adult butterflies and pupae in 25 microhabitats (architectural features) on the external walls of the Federal University of Uberlândia, southeast Brazil. The percentage of the total wall area occupied by each type of microhabitat was used to calculate expected frequencies of adults and pupae. The frequency of use

Microhabitats of a Terrestrial Forest Salamander
Copeia, 1980The 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 ...
