When animals choose habitats and territories in which to live or reproduce, their preferences
can be affected by two sets of factors: habitat quality and conspecifics. There is general …

Habitat specialization is an effective mechanism of coexistence among competing species.
But many communities also include generalized species whose habitat use overlaps that of …

Habitat-selection theory can be applied to solve numerous problems in the conservation and
management of wildlife. Many of the solutions involve the use of habitat isodars, graphs of …

This study investigated the impacts of fertilization and grazing by Norwegian lemmings
(Lemmus lemmus), grey‐sided voles (Clethrionomys rufocanus), and reindeer (Rangifer …

The habitat-heterogeneity hypothesis states that an increase in habitat heterogeneity leads
to an increase in species diversity. Although community-level analyses of effects of habitat …

When interspecific competitors resolve their co-existence by habitat segregation, their
competition might, like a ghost, be invisible because the species occupy separate habitats …

Rodents are conspicuous and important components of the desert biome. Many general
concepts in modern community and behavioral ecology use them as a main model. This …

We studied the distribution of migratory warblers (genus: Sylvia) in poor and high quality
habitat patches at a stopover site in the northern Negev, Israel. The purpose of our study …

High-value resources are often defended aggressively by consumers, which can alter
assemblage structure and dynamics. Here, we describe a system of nectarivorous bird …

Optimal foraging theory has entered a new phase. It is not so much tested as used. It helps
behavioural ecologists discover the nature of the information in an animal's brain. It helps …
