Dung‐associated arthropods influence foraging ecology and habitat selection in Black‐necked Cranes (Grus nigricollis) on the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "Ecology and Evolution"
DOI: 10.1002/ece3.4904
Abstract: Abstract Variation in grassland vegetation structure influences the habitat selection of insectivorous birds. This variation presents a trade‐off for insectivorous predators: Arthropod abundance increases with vegetation height and heterogeneity, but access to arthropod prey items… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.6950
Abstract: Abstract Mapping suitable habitat is an important process in wildlife conservation planning. Species distribution reflects habitat selection processes occurring across multiple spatio‐temporal scales. Because habitat selection may be driven by different factors at different scales,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.9794
Abstract: Abstract Natal habitat preference induction (NHPI) occurs when animals exhibit a preference for new habitat that is similar to that which they experienced in their natal environment, potentially leading to post‐dispersal success. While the study… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ecs2.1705
Abstract: Measures of reproductive success have been recognized in many fields as essential tools to assess the status of populations, species, and communities. However, difficulties in gathering data on reproductive success often prevent researchers from taking… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ecs2.2013
Abstract: Although organisms make resource selection decisions at multiple spatiotemporal scales, not all scales are ecologically relevant to any given organism. Ecological patterns and rhythms such as behavioral and climatic patterns may provide a consistent method… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ecs2.3500
Abstract: Mountain ecosystems contain strong elevational gradients in climate and vegetation that shape species distributions and the structure of animal communities. Nevertheless, studies of habitat selection for individual species rarely account for such gradients that often… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/jwmg.21529
Abstract: Habitat selection is a complex hierarchical process and in ungulates typically varies at broad spatial and temporal scales and among individuals. Recent advancements in the ability of global positioning system (GPS)-collars to collect activity data… read more here.
