How stable are habitat associations through a breeding season?

This assumption of static occupancy is especially true in studies of birds, even though many bird species are known to abandon failed nest sites in search of better habitat or ...

However, the loss of genetic variation through genetic drift and the inbreeding effect of small populations are thought to contribute to the increased extinction rate of ...

Habitat conservation
Habitat conservation is a land management practice that seeks to conserve, protect and restore habitat areas for wild plants and animals, especially conservation reliant species, and prevent their extinction, fragmentation or reduction in range. It is a priority of many groups that cannot be easily characterized in terms of any one ideology.
