Octopus tetricus (Mollusca: Cephalopoda) as an ecosystem engineer ; Octopus tetricus (Mollusca: Cephalopoda) como ingeniero de ecosistemas
The Sydney octopus (Octopus tetricus) occurs in unusual numbers on a shell bed of its prey remains that have accumulated as an extended midden where additional octopuses excavate dens. Here, O tetricus are ecosystem engineers, organisms that modulate availability of resources to other species and to their own species by causing physical state changes in materials. A community of invertebrate gr...
متن کاملHabitat Use and Selection by Giant Pandas
Animals make choices about where to spend their time in complex and dynamic landscapes, choices that reveal information about their biology that in turn can be used to guide their conservation. Using GPS collars, we conducted a novel individual-based analysis of habitat use and selection by the elusive and endangered giant pandas (Ailuropoda melanoleuca). We constructed spatial autoregressive r...
متن کاملUse and Interpretation of Logistic Regression in Habitat-selection Studies
Logistic regression is an important tool for wildlife habitat-selection studies, but the method frequently has been misapplied due to an inadequate understanding of the logistic model, its interpretation, and the influence of sampling design. To promote better use of this method, we review its application and interpretation under 3 sampling designs: random, case–control, and use–availability. L...
متن کاملMultiscale Habitat Use and Selection in Cooperatively Breeding Micronesian Kingfishers
Information about the interaction between behavior and landscape resources is key to directing conservation management for endangered species. We studied multi-scale occurrence, habitat use, and selection in a cooperatively breeding population of Micronesian kingfishers (Todiramphus cinnamominus) on the island of Pohnpei, Federated States of Micronesia. At the landscape level, point-transect su...
متن کاملThe selection of shelter place by the house cricket.
The stimuli acting upon the choice of shelter and resting place by the house cricket, Acheta domesticus (L.) were analysed. The places of preference in different types of terraria as well as the choice of tubes of different diameter and of various light conditions were investigated. Acheta domesticus avoids open and illuminated space in its choice of resting place. It prefers dark places, enclo...
