Fine-scale habitat selection of Chilean dolphins was studied between January and April 2002 through shore-based theodolite tracking in order to investigate the environmental and behavioural determinants of habitat use, and to evaluate the interactions between this species and aquaculture activities in Yaldad Bay, southern Chile. During 293.5 h of effort, movement and habitat selection patterns of dolphins exhibited a significantly concentrated use of only 21% of the entire study area. Correspondence analysis showed that shallow waters (5–10 m), proximity to coast and rivers were the most significant environmental parameters determining fine-scale dolphin distribution patterns, with foraging the most frequently observed activity. Aquaculture activities in the area were observed to affect dolphin habitat use patterns by restricting space available for biologically important dolphin behaviours.

Animals typically use habitat in a non-random way, but the factors influencing habitat selection may change throughout the 24-h cycle. In this study, we quantified resources at used and available locations to test two predictions about the fine-scale habitat selection of seven adult female swamp wallabies (Wallabia bicolor). We predicted that selection would be (i) non-random and (ii) differ between diurnal and nocturnal periods with respect to both food and shelter. Variables quantifying food abundance and lateral cover were recorded at 56 diurnal, 17 nocturnal and 143 randomly selected available locations. Logistic regression indicated that diurnal habitat selection was positively correlated with lateral cover, and the cover of trees, shrubs and forbs, whereas nocturnal selection was positively correlated with forb cover only. Diurnal locations had more lateral cover than nocturnal locations. The data were consistent with our first prediction, but only partially supported our second. At a fine scale, diurnal habitat selection was influenced by the co-availability of shelter and food resources, whereas nocturnal selection was influenced by food availability only, indicating that factors influencing habitat selection changed throughout the 24-h cycle.
