We analyzed habitat requirements and selection of Kelp Gulls (Larus dominicanus) breeding at 68 colonies along 2,500 km of coastline in Patagonia, Argentina. Kelp Gulls use a wide range of nesting habitats that include ...

Wildlife distribution is driven by a variety of intrinsic and extrinsic factors that limit species to habitats with the adequate resources and conditions to maintain their survival. The selection of specific habitats by ...

We studied the availability and use of breeding habitat by Red-legged Cormorants (Phalacrocorax gaimardi) to identify the factors involved in habitat selection. The species nests on cliff-faces. We identified cliffs suitable ...

We propose a model for the design of protected habitat reserves, which maximizes the number of species represented at least once in a limited set of reserved sites or parcels. Most models for reserve design do not differentiate ...

The effect of the disturbances caused by the American beaver (Castor canadensis), introduced to the Cape Horn Biosphere Reserve, on species of birds that are forest habitat specialists is poorly understood. Using telemetry ...

Plant-animal interactions are strong drivers of phenotypic evolution. However, the extent to which anthropogenic habitat transformation creates new selective scenarios for plant-animal interactions is a little explored ...
