Habitat selection is a fundamental animal behavior that shapes a wide range of ecological
processes, including animal movement, nutrient transfer, trophic dynamics and population …

Models of habitat preference are widely used to quantify animal–habitat relationships, to
describe and predict differential space use by animals, and to identify habitat that is …

With a shrinking supply of wilderness and growing recognition that top predators can have a
profound influence on ecosystems, the persistence of large carnivores in human-dominated …

The field of habitat ecology has been muddled by imprecise terminology regarding what
constitutes habitat, and how importance is measured through use, selection, avoidance and …

Global demand for energy is projected to increase by 40% in the next 20 years, and largely
will be met with alternative and unconventional sources. Development of these resources …

Much of Canada's terrestrial biodiversity is supported by boreal forests. Natural resource
development in boreal forests poses risks to this biodiversity. This paper reviews the …

Summary 1 Resource selection functions (RSF) have contributed to the conservation of
species negatively affected by human activities. Despite these applications, two …

Detailed empirical models predicting both species occurrence and fitness across a
landscape are necessary to understand processes related to population persistence. Failure …

1. Corridors are commonly used to connect fragments of wildlife habitat, yet the identification
of conservation corridors typically neglects processes of habitat selection and movement for …

Habitat choice is an evolutionary product of animals experiencing increased fitness when
preferentially occupying high‐quality habitat. However, an ecological trap (ET) can occur …
