Is patch use determined by fine-scale microhabitat differences or density dependent habitat selection?
(2006)If individuals base their patch and habitat choices on fine-scale differences in microhabitat, then their use o f patches, defined by capture sites, should correspond with measures o f microhabitat. But if individuals ... -
