Habitat use by the island lemurs of Nosy Be, Madagascar
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "American Journal of Primatology"
DOI: 10.1002/ajp.23362
Abstract: Madagascar's lemurs are threatened by forest loss, fragmentation, and degradation. Many species use flexible behaviors to survive in degraded habitat, but their ability to persist in very small areas may be limited. Insular lemurs, like… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.10083
Abstract: Abstract Climate change and habitat loss are recognized as important drivers of shifts in wildlife species' geographic distributions. While often considered independently, there is considerable overlap between these drivers, and understanding how they contribute to… read more here.

Finding food in a changing world: Small‐scale foraging habitat preferences of an insectivorous passerine in the Alps
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2023 at "Ecology and Evolution"
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.

When perception reflects reality: Non‐native grass invasion alters small mammal risk landscapes and survival
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "Ecology and Evolution"
DOI: 10.1002/ece3.2785
Abstract: Abstract Modification of habitat structure due to invasive plants can alter the risk landscape for wildlife by, for example, changing the quality or availability of refuge habitat. Whether perceived risk corresponds with actual fitness outcomes,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.4185
Abstract: Abstract Numerous studies investigate morphology in the context of habitat, and lizards have received particular attention. Substrate usage is often reflected in the morphology of characters associated with locomotion, and, as a result, claws have… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.5519
Abstract: Habitat loss is a major cause of species loss and is expected to increase. Loss of habitat is often associated with fragmentation of remaining habitat. Whether species can persist in fragmented landscapes may depend on… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.6940
Abstract: Abstract Nonreef habitats such as mangroves, seagrass, and macroalgal beds are important for foraging, spawning, and as nursery habitat for some coral reef fishes. The spatial configuration of nonreef habitats adjacent to coral reefs can… read more here.
