Abstract: Colonizing organisms actively choosing habitats face a bewildering array of choices regarding patch quality, whether choosing for themselves, offspring, or both. Decisions are especially critical when selecting patches for long-term use (demographic habitat selection). Thus,… read more here.

Abstract: Two of the most important factors determining community structure and diversity within and among habitat patches are patch size and patch quality. Despite the importance of patch size in existing paradigms in island biogeography, metapopulation… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/1365-2435.13710
Abstract: 1. Prey face a trade-off between acquiring food and avoiding predation, but food availability, and therefore its effect, is rarely measured in field studies investigating non-lethal effects of predation. The main aim of this study… read more here.

Empirical tests of habitat selection theory reveal that conspecific density and patch quality, but not habitat amount, drive long‐distance immigration in a wild bird

Abstract: Abstract Individuals that disperse long distances from their natal site must select breeding patches with no prior knowledge of patch suitability. Despite decades of theoretical studies examining which cues dispersing individuals should use to select… read more here.
