Food abundance and fish density alters habitat selection, growth, and habitat suitability curves for juvenile coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) (2005, methodology): “1992), or movement rate (Belanger and Rodriguez 2002) as more easily measured surrogates of the fitness consequences of habitat use (Rosenfeld 2003).”
Information needs for assessing critical habitat of freshwater fish (2006, background): “Direct measurements of individual (or population) growth, survival, and fecundity in different habitats are the most reliable indices of habitat quality (Sogard 1994; Railsback et al. 2003; Rosenfeld 2003).”
Fractal analysis measures habitat use at different spatial scales: an example with American marten (2004, background): “Animals should prefer those habitats that maximize survival and reproductive success (Fretwell 1972), but it is difficult to assess fitness in real-world situations (Rosenfeld 2003).”
