Habitat Use

Habitat use refers to how animals or plants utilize different environments or areas to meet their needs, such as food, shelter, breeding, and safety. It involves understanding which parts of a landscape are favored or frequently visited by a species and how they move within these areas. Studying habitat use helps us understand the preferences and behaviors of species, guiding conservation efforts and habitat management to support healthy ecosystems. Essentially, it’s about where and how living organisms live within their natural surroundings.
