Little brown Myotis roosts are spatially associated with foraging resources on Prince Edward Island

Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2023
Animal fitness is closely linked to accessing and capitalizing on local resources such as prey and shelter. Resources vary in quality, thus individuals may demonstrate selectivity for particular resource types.

Using eDNA metabarcoding to understand the effect of fire on the diet of small mammals in a woodland ecosystem

Ecology and Evolution, 2022
Food acquisition is a fundamental process that drives animal distribution and abundance, influencing how species respond to changing environments. Disturbances such as fire create significant shifts in available dietary resources, yet, for many species ...

Optimizing cooperative cognitive radio networks with opportunistic access [PDF]

, 2012
Optimal resource allocation for cooperative cognitive radio networks with opportunistic access to the licensed spectrum is studied. Resource allocation is based on minimizing the symbol error rate at the receiver.

Feed resource selection of Criollo goats artificially infected with Haemonchus contortus: nutritional wisdom and prophylactic self-medication

Animal, 2018
Previous cafeteria studies suggested that a moderate natural gastrointestinal nematode (GIN) infection did not modify the resource selection of adult Criollo goats towards tannin-rich plants compared with worm-free goats.

Linking alternative reproductive tactics and habitat selection in Northern chamois

Ecology and Evolution, 2021
In polygynous ungulates, males may achieve fertilization through the use of alternative reproductive tactics (ARTs), discrete phenotypic variations evolved to maximize fitness.

Density-dependent, central-place foraging in a grazing herbivore: competition and tradeoffs in time allocation near water [PDF]

, 2015
Optimal foraging theory addresses one of the core challenges of ecology: predicting the distribution and abundance of species. Tests of hypotheses of optimal foraging, however, often focus on a single conceptual model rather than drawing upon the ...

Variable effects of wind‐energy development on seasonal habitat selection of pronghorn

Ecosphere, 2021
In the face of climate change, wind energy represents an important alternative to oil and gas extraction to meet increasing energy demands, but it has the potential to disrupt wildlife populations.

Choosing how to choose : Institutional pressures affecting the adoption of personnel selection procedures [PDF]

, 2004
The gap between science and practice in personnel selection is an ongoing concern of human resource management. This paper takes Oliver´s framework of organizations´ strategic responses to institutional pressures as a basis for outlining the diverse ...

Microhabitat use, daily activity pattern, and diet of Liolaemus etheridgei Laurent, 1998 (Reptilia: Liolaemidae) in the Andean Polylepis forests of Arequipa, Peru

Ecology and Evolution, 2022
This study describes the microhabitat use, daily activity pattern, and diet of Liolaemus etheridgei Laurent, 1998 in the El Simbral and Tuctumpaya Polylepis forests in Arequipa, Peru. El Simbral is a fragmented forest, whereas Tuctumpaya is unfragmented.
