Restricted cross-scale habitat selection by American beavers
Animal habitat selection, among other ecological phenomena, is spatially scale dependent. Habitat selection by American beavers Castor canadensis (hereafter, beaver) has been studied at singular spatial scales, but to date no research addresses multi-scale selection. Our objectives were to determine if beaver habitat selection was specialized to semiaquatic habitats and if variables explaining ...
متن کاملAge-specific differences in habitat selection by the American Redstart.-
Age-specific differences in habitat selection by the American Redstart.The American Redstart (Setophaga ruticilla) is unusual among parulids because males retain immature plumage until after the first breeding season. On the basis of this character, age-specific differences in habitat occupation have been reported (Ficken and Ficken 1967, Wilson Bull. 79: 188). In 1969 I sampled some redstart h...
متن کاملHabitat Selection by American Martens in Coastal California
We investigated habitat selection using singleand mixed-scale modeling at 2 spatial scales, stand and home range, by the only known population of American martens (Martes americana) remaining in the historical range of the Humboldt subspecies (M. a. humboldtensis) in California, USA. During 2000 and 2001, we sampled a 12 3 14 grid with 2-km spacing, using 2 sooted track plates at each grid poin...
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 کاملScale-dependent Habitat Selection by the Darkling Beetle Eleodes hispilabris
-Habitat selection in the darkling beetle Eleodes hispilabris Say (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae) on the shortgrass prairie of the central United States was nonrandom at both a broad (km2) and a fine (cm2) scale, relative to the abundance of broadly defined habitat types and, within these, microhabitats. On a broad habitat scale, darkling beetles were more numerous and had longer residence times (a...
