Same habitat types but different use: evidence of context-dependent habitat selection in roe deer across populations

Abstract With the surge of GPS-technology, many studies uncovered space use of mobile animals and shed light on the underlying behavioral mechanisms of habitat selection. Habitat selection and variation in either occurrence or strength of functional responses (i.e. how selection changes with availab...
