influence the future habitat selection of an animal. However, the influence of NHPI after the
dispersal phase has received remarkably little attention. We tested whether exposure to
humans in the natal habitat helps understand why some adult wolves Canis lupus may
approach human settlements more than other conspecifics, a question of both ecological
and management interest. We quantified habitat selection patterns within home ranges …
Natal habitat preference induction (NHPI) occurs when characteristics of the natal habitat
influence the future habitat selection of an animal. However, the influence of NHPI after the
dispersal phase has received remarkably little attention. We tested whether exposure to
humans in the natal habitat helps understand why some adult wolves Canis lupus may
approach human settlements more than other conspecifics, a question of both ecological
and management interest. We quantified habitat selection patterns within home ranges …
