Determining habitat quality for species that demonstrate dynamic habitat selection
(Ecology and Evolution, 2015-11-19)Determining habitat quality for wildlife populations requires relating a species' habitat to its survival and reproduction. Within a season, species occurrence and density can be disconnected from measures of habitat quality ... -
Mechanisms That Generate Resource Pulses in a Fluctuating Wetland
(PLoS ONE, 2016-07-22)Animals living in patchy environments may depend on resource pulses to meet the high energetic demands of breeding. We developed two primary a priori hypotheses to examine relationships between three categories of wading ... -
Time‐integrated habitat availability is a resource attribute that informs patterns of use in intertidal areas
(Ecological Monographs, 2018-05-30)In dynamic environments, resource availability may change by several orders of magnitude, over hours to months, but the duration of resource availability is not often included as a characteristic attribute of resources ... -
Urban food subsidies reduce natural food limitations and reproductive costs for a wetland bird
(Scientific Reports, 2020-08-20)There is a strong conservation need to understand traits of species that adapt to urban environments, but results have been equivocal. Wetland birds exhibit a strong phylogenetic signal towards urban tolerance; however, ...
