I argue here that, from the perspective of any individual, most landscapes are composed of
only three basic types of habitats. These are:(1) source habitat in which reproduction …

In the model described, we attempt to link breeding-site selection to population dynamics for
situations in which there is more than one distinct type of habitat. The distribution of …

A spatially explicit model of interspecific competition for two species that perform best in
alternate habitat types is developed. Computer simulations of the model showed that the …

Interspecific competition for shared and limiting resources is widely thought to be one of the
forces, perhaps even the main force, that has shaped biodiversity in the past and continues …

A landscape consists of a mosaic of different landscape elements. The structure and
composition of the landscape, as well as the changes in them, influence the distribution …

Landscape ecology-whether it is defined as the fragmentation of habitats into insular or
weakly coupled subpopulations or by the interaction of scale-dependent processes among …

The single-species spatially realistic patch occupancy metapopulation model is, in this
study, extended to a metacommunity of many competing species. Competition is assumed to …

Landscape ecology, with its emphasis on spatial patterns and processes, articulates a
pressing need to consider spatial heterogeneity and spatial dynamics in studies of …

All organisms, especially terrestrial plants and other sessile species, interact mainly with
their neighbors, but neighborhoods can differ in composition because of dispersal and …

We present a theoretical study of habitat selection strategies for two species that compete in
an environment consisting of two different habitats. Our fitness functions are derived from the …
