The spatial distribution of African savannah herbivores: species associations and habitat occupancy in a landscape context.
Herbivores play an important role in determining the structure and function of tropical savannahs. Here, we (i) outline a framework for how interactions among large mammalian herbivores, carnivores and environmental variation influence herbivore habitat occupancy in tropical savannahs. We then (ii) use a Bayesian hierarchical model to analyse camera trap data to quantify spatial patterns of hab...
متن کاملHabitat heterogeneity overrides the species–area relationship
Species–area relationships are amongst the most studied ecological phenomena (Connor & McCoy, 1979; Rosenzweig, 1995; Whittaker, 1998; Báldi & McCollin, 2003; HornerDevine et al., 2004; Martin & Goldenfeld, 2006). They encapsulate the general pattern that larger islands/areas contain more species than smaller ones (e.g. MacArthur & Wilson, 1967). Although there is strong evidence for the genera...
متن کاملHabitat associations of ant species (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) in a heterogeneous Mississippi landscape.
Community assembly and the factors that influence it have long been a topic of interest to ecologists, but theory has yet to produce unequivocal evidence that communities assemble in predictable ways. The goal of this study was to document the relationship between ant communities and environmental variation between four habitat types. To accomplish this, ant communities and 16 environmental var...
متن کاملSpecies Diversity and Larval Habitat Characteristics of Mosquitoes (Diptera: Culicidae) in Golestan Province, 2016
Background & Objectives: Mosquitoes (Diptera: Culicidae) are medically considered as one of the most important species of insects in terms of disease transmission to human beings; hence, they can be vectors of remarkable diseases such as malaria, West Nile, dengue fever, yellow fever, and filariasis. This study aimed to determine the species diversity and larval habitat characteristics of mosqu...
متن کاملLandscape and Fine Scale Habitat Associations of the Loggerhead Shrike
-This study was conducted to determine landscape and fine-scale vegetative variables associated with breeding Loggerhead Shrikes (Lanius ludovicianus) on Fort Riley Military Reservation, Kansas. Because Fort Riley is an Army training site, the influences of training disturbance to the vegetation, and range management practices on bird habitat patterns were also investigated. Breeding birds were...
