DOI: 10.1002/ece3.11445
Abstract: Abstract Habitat is fundamental for facilitating various life activities in animals, for instance, snakes procure essential energy for survival and reproduction by selecting ambush microhabitats. While there has been extensive research on the selection of… read more here.

Coping with unpredictable environments: fine-tune foraging microhabitat use in relation to prey availability in an alpine species
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2024 at "Oecologia"
DOI: 10.1007/s00442-024-05530-1
Abstract: Microhabitat utilisation holds a pivotal role in shaping a species’ ecological dynamics and stands as a crucial concern for effective conservation strategies. Despite its critical importance, microhabitat use has frequently been addressed as static, centering… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jembe.2020.151365
Abstract: Abstract Behavioral traits can differ between individuals in a population and affect their fitness if they differentially influence survivorship in a microhabitat scale. This may occur when individuals experience different predation risks between microhabitats. In… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/ecog.07144
Abstract: Climate change is causing geographic range shifts globally, and understanding the factors that influence species' range expansions is crucial for predicting future biodiversity changes. A common, yet untested, assumption in forecasting approaches is that species… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fevo.2019.00367
Abstract: Dryland grasslands are vast and globally important and, as in all terrestrial ecosystems, soil microbial communities play fundamental roles in regulating dryland ecosystem function. A typical characteristic of drylands is the spatial mosaic of vascular… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/d12030113
Abstract: Empirical studies suggest that the structural heterogeneity of aquatic ecosystem microhabitat is determined by the diversity and abundance of macrophytes. However, excessive accumulation of free-floating macrophytes on the water surface can reduce the biomass of… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/f16020195
Abstract: The use of proxies in habitat assessments has become widespread in recent decades. We used forest state descriptive data from a large-scale project (SCP) as proxies to investigate the occurrence of habitats suitable for some… read more here.

Microhabitat preference in American bullfrog tadpoles (Lithobates catesbeianus) in relation to predation pressure.
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "Aquatic Invasions"
DOI: 10.3391/ai.2019.14.3.04
Abstract: Predation risk is among the key forces driving the evolution of escape behaviours and related phenotypes. Successful avoidance of predators results in increased survival rate and fitness. The behavioural response of individuals under predation pressure… read more here.

DOI: 10.7717/peerj.15110
Abstract: Background Habitat selection has major consequences on individual fitness, particularly selection for breeding sites such as nests or burrows. Theory predicts that animals will first use optimal habitats or rearrange their distribution by moving to… read more here.
