Our results emphasize the significance of considering multiple and nested mosaics of openings and continuous cover when assessing habitat selection patterns and home range size of herbivores living in forested landscapes, as the influence of spatial heterogeneity in resources varied with the constraints of seasonal environments.
Detailed description of the data and individual processing steps presented in the flowchart follow in subsections vegetation-cover classification, assessing the risk of locust infestations for vegetation classes, and analysing the impact of environmental factors on risk of locust infestations.
Fig. 3 Non-metric multidimensional scaling (NMS) ordination based on ground covers, to assess similarity or difference of understory structure among forest types and locations.
Coral and macroalgal covers were assessed at each site using the Vidana software [freely available from www.ex.ac.uk/msel].
