DOI: 10.1002/ece3.10084
Abstract: Abstract Organisms living in high‐elevation habitats are usually habitat specialists who occupy a narrow ecological niche. To envision the response of alpine species to a changing environment, it is fundamental to understand their habitat preferences… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00227-021-03899-8
Abstract: Seabird foraging activities are constrained by the heterogeneous distribution of prey, intra-specific competition, and the varying energy requirements throughout their life history. Investigations of intra-seasonal variation in foraging habitat will, therefore, provide clues to understand… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10344-020-01379-w
Abstract: Eurasian beaver ( Castor fiber ) populations are expanding across Europe. Depending on location, beaver dams bring multiple benefits and/or require management. Using nationally available data, we developed: a Beaver Forage Index (BFI), identifying beaver… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jembe.2019.04.003
Abstract: Abstract Personality is relevant in shaping the way animals respond to environmental conditions. Some personality traits may be disadvantageous under non-optimal environmental conditions, reducing foraging success and breeding performance in the long term. In this… read more here.

Projected shifts in the foraging habitat of crabeater seals along the Antarctic Peninsula

DOI: 10.1038/s41558-020-0745-9
Abstract: Crabeater seals exhibit extreme dietary specialization, feeding almost exclusively on Antarctic krill. This specialization has inextricably linked habitat use, life history and evolution of this pinniped species to the distribution of its prey. Therefore, the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/jmammal/gyw181
Abstract: Characterizing habitat use is a key component to quantifying the niche, ecological interactions, and conservation needs of a species. Habitat selection is the disproportionate use of habitat types, whereby animals select higher-quality habitats within a… read more here.
