Habitat Relations Spatial Heterogeneity in Habitat Selection: Nest Site Selection by Greater Prairie-Chickens
Ecological relationships of animals and their environments are known to vary spatially and temporally across scales. However, common approaches for evaluating resource selection by animals assume that the processes of habitat selection are stationary across space. The assumption that habitat selection is spatially homogeneous may lead to biased inference and ineffective management. We present t...
متن کاملFine-Scale Selection of Habitat by the Lesser Prairie-Chicken
Proper management of grasslands and shrublands requires an understanding of the factors that influence the persistence of organisms. We compare differences in vegetation between sites occupied by the lesser prairie-chicken (Tympanuchus pallidicinctus) and random sites to investigate composition of grasses and forbs and the importance of cover. We observed that birds selected habitat, at least i...
متن کاملHabitat Relations Greater Prairie-Chicken Nest Success and Habitat Selection in Southeastern Nebraska
Greater prairie-chickens (Tympanuchus cupido pinnatus) are reported to benefit from grasslands created through the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP). Prairie-chicken population size increased noticeably in southeastern Nebraska after >15% of county-level landscapes were converted to CRP grasslands. But, the mechanisms behind the increase in population size are not well understood, and managers...
متن کاملMarine Habitat Selection by Marbled Murrelets (Brachyramphus marmoratus) during the Breeding Season
The marbled murrelet (Brachyramphus marmoratus) is a declining seabird that is well-known for nesting in coastal old-growth forests in the Pacific Northwest. Most studies of habitat selection have focused on modeling terrestrial nesting habitat even though marine habitat is believed to be a major contributor to population declines in some regions. To address this information gap, we conducted a...
متن کاملOrientation of Movements and Habitat Selection in a Spatially Structured Population of Marbled Salamanders (Ambystoma opacum)
—Most studies on orientation of movements of pond-breeding salamanders have considered only a single local population (or breeding pond) during 1 yr, or multiple populations during a single year. We quantified migratory patterns of Marbled Salamanders at nine breeding ponds during 5 yr in western Massachusetts. Based on captures at drift fences, movements were nonuniform at all breeding ponds. ...
