Single-scale frameworks are often used to analyze the habitat selections of species. Research on habitat selection can be significantly improved using multi-scale models that enable greater in-depth analyses of the scale dependence between species and specific environmental factors. In this study, the winter habitat selection of red deer in the Gogostaihanwula Nature Reserve, Inner Mongolia, was studied using a multi-scale model. Each selected covariate was included in multi-scale models at their “characteristic scale”, and we used an all subsets approach and model selection framework to assess habitat selection. The results showed that: (1) Univariate logistic regression analysis showed that the response scale of red deer to environmental factors was different among different covariate. The optimal scale of the single covariate was 800–3200 m, slope (SLP), altitude (ELE), and ratio of deciduous broad-leaved forests were 800 m in large scale, except that the farmland ratio was 200 m in fine scale. The optimal scale of road density and grassland ratio is both 1600 m, and the optimal scale of net forest production capacity is 3200 m; (2) distance to forest edges, distance to cement roads, distance to villages, altitude, distance to all road, and slope of the region were the most important factors affecting winter habitat selection. The outcomes of this study indicate that future studies on the effectiveness of habitat selections will benefit from multi-scale models. In addition to increasing interpretive and predictive capabilities, multi-scale habitat selection models enhance our understanding of how species respond to their environments and contribute to the formulation of effective conservation and management strategies for ungulata.

This research project has two primary goals. The first is to determine home range spatial dynamics of marten (Maxes americana) in Yellowstone relative to habitat type. Results of this analysis will aid in the understanding of marten habitat selection. The study's second goal is aimed at identifying the habitat variables that influence subnivean access. A proximate factor analysis of subnivean access behavior will be conducted to determine the components that make old growth suitable for marten. Results from both objectives will allow assessment of the effects of the 1988 fires in Yellowstone on marten habitat.

Diet and habitat selection of wood bison (Bison bison athabascae) were studied in the Mackenzie Bison Sanctuary, Northwest Territories, between February 1986 and April 1988. Wood bison showed pronounced seasonal changes in diet. Sedges constituted 96.1–98.8% of the winter diet. During summer, the diet became a more diverse mix of sedge (Carex spp.), grass (Graminae), and willow (Salix spp.). Lichen (Cladina mitis) became a major dietary component in fall. Summer browsing on willows increased when sedge standing crops were reduced. Forage availability was the main factor determining habitat selection. Wet sedge meadows provided the most available crude protein in winter and were the preferred winter habitat. Willow savannas provided the most available crude protein in summer and were the preferred summer habitat. Between June and October, all forages except lichen decreased in nitrogen content and increased in fibre content. The lack of distinct habitat preference in fall corresponded to dispersion of animals into forested habitats, increased use of lichen as forage, and more homogeneous availability of crude protein among habitats. Snow conditions were harsher in 1987–1988 than in 1986–1987, which affected forage availability and caused a noticeable shift in habitat use.

The diet and habitat selection of Pseudomys apodemoides were studied at 2 mature heathland localities in western Victoria. This species ate seeds during summer, and seeds, cockroaches and Banksia flowers during winter. Habitat preference was for diverse heathland communities within patches of Banksia ornata. P. apodemoides showed spatial separation from Notomys mitchellii, which ate similar foods during its short period of residency within the study area.
