TL;DR: It is outlined how reward/risk ratios can be used to assess the fitness implications of habitat selection across scales, and by linking habitat selection to fitness as a function of scale, use-of-habitat assessments can be more effective.

TL;DR: This work combined satellite and citizen science data to estimate rates of change in phenological interval between spring green-up and migratory arrival for 48 breeding passerine species across North America, highlighting that phenologies of species and trophic levels can shift at different rates, potentially leading to phenological mismatches with negative fitness consequences.

TL;DR: Spatially explicit approaches to quantify selection along a continuum of scales using spatial and geostatistical pattern analyses at multiple levels of habitat use enable a spatial understanding of resource selection behavior.

TL;DR: It is shown for the first time that across a broad region species richness peaked in communities with intermediate anthropogenic disturbance, as predicted by intermediate disturbance hypothesis, even when accounting for many environmental covariates.

TL;DR: The authors conducted a spatially explicit analysis of winter habitat selection by caribou (Rangifer tarandus) in Newfoundland, Canada, to elucidate the spatial scales of habitat selection.
