The expo gathered more than 4,000 participants with 250 lecturers and presenters, including UN-Habitat personnel, business leaders, mayors of Brazilian cities along with representatives from civil society.
Due to the success of the consultation in Brazil, UN-Habitat with the leadership of its Capacity Development Unit launched a similar consultation on 5 August 2019, involving the cities of La Paz and Tarija in Bolivia and Chimbote and Trujillo in Peru. The project has been realized by the partnership of OS City, Foro Ciudades para la Vida (Peru) and the Fundacin para el Periodismo (Bolivia).

Spring in the Northwoods brings to mind the sky dance of the Woodcock and drumming of the Ruffed Grouse. We will take an in-depth look at the challenges that lay ahead for these birds. Learn how spring drumming counts can help you locate strategic habitat for late season hunts. As always, we will be breaking down key habitat features and needs of these birds. Hunt the Habitat and Find the Birds.
T-Mobile is proud to present a check presentation of $10,000 to Wichita Habitat for Humanity on Saturday, April 20! This contribution strengthens the longstanding partnership and directly supports the impactful Women Build program. The Women Build empowers women like Indaka, a family partner, to achieve the dream of homeownership. Together, T-Mobile and Wichita Habitat for Humanity are tackling the housing crisis faced by many Wichita families.

Wichita Habitat for Humanity is an independent affiliate of Habitat for Humanity International, a non-profit organization that strives to create a world where everyone has access to safe and affordable housing. Since 1986, we've partnered with families in Wichita and Sedgwick County to build or improve their living situations. We achieve this by providing opportunities for homeownership through affordable mortgages, homebuyer counseling, and neighborhood revitalization initiatives. Our mission is to bring people together to build homes, communities, and hope. For more information, go to wichitahabitat.org.
Many metrics exist for quantifying the relative value of habitats and pathways used by highly mobile species. Properly selecting and applying such metrics requires substantial background in mathematics and understanding the relevant management arena. To address this multidimensional challenge, we demonstrate and compare three measurements of habitat quality: graph-, occupancy-, and demographic-based metrics. Each metric provides insights into system dynamics, at the expense of increasing amounts and complexity of data and models. Our descriptions and comparisons of diverse habitat-quality metrics provide means for practitioners to overcome the modeling challenges associated with management or conservation of such highly mobile species. Whereas previous guidance for applying habitat-quality metrics has been scattered in diversified tracks of literature, we have brought this information together into an approachable format including accessible descriptions and a modeling case study for a typical example that conservation professionals can adapt for their own decision contexts and focal populations.

Mobile, apex predators are commonly assumed to stabilize food webs through trophic coupling across spatially distinct habitats. The assumption that trophic coupling is common remains largely untested, despite evidence that individual behaviors might limit trophic coupling. We used stable isotope data from common bottlenose dolphins across the Gulf of Mexico to determine if these apex predators coupled estuarine and adjacent, nearshore marine habitats. δ13C values differed among the sites, likely driven by environmental factors that varied at each site, such as freshwater input and seagrass cover. Within most sites, δ13C values differed such that dolphins sampled in the upper reaches of embayments had values indicative of estuarine habitats while those sampled outside or in lower reaches of embayments had values indicative of marine habitats. δ15N values were more similar among and within sites than δ13C values. Data from multiple tissues within individuals corroborated that most dolphins consistently used a narrow range of habitats but fed at similar trophic levels in estuarine and marine habitats. Because these dolphins exhibited individual habitat specialization, they likely do not contribute to trophic coupling between estuarine and adjacent marine habitats at a regional scale, suggesting that not all mobile, apex predators trophically couple adjacent habitats.
Food webs comprise distinct compartments that are often thought to be coupled at top trophic levels by mobile, apex predators1,2,3. Trophic compartments often form in association with distinct habitats, such as rivers, estuaries, nearshore coastal habitats, and offshore pelagic and benthic habitats1,4. Landscapes are mosaics of habitats that are, in turn, composed of microhabitats, and associated trophic compartments can form at each of these scales of community organization. Compartmentalization can reduce broad-scale impacts across the whole food web by isolating perturbations and subsequent trophic cascades to those compartments5,6. Mobile, apex predators can further stabilize food webs by moving among habitats and microhabitats, connecting energy and nutrients among them, and exerting continual top-down control7,8. As examples, many top fish predators are thought to forage across the energetically distinct benthic and pelagic zones in lakes and many sharks and small cetaceans forage in both estuarine and marine habitats along coasts, patterns believed to stabilize those systems as a whole1,8,9. This pattern of homogenizing trophic compartments at higher trophic levels is assumed to be widespread and common3,10, especially in aquatic habitats8,11,12.
Counter to this assumption, mobile, apex predators do not always act in ways that effectively couple habitats9,13,14. Many apex predators have broad habitat niches and are considered generalists at the population scale, and as they move through multiple habitats and feed on many prey types, have the potential to connect these associated trophic compartments15. But ecologists are becoming increasingly aware that many generalist species are composed of individual specialists that use only a subset of the available habitats and prey16,17,18,19. Individuals may function as specialists while the population and species may ecologically function as generalists14,16,19. Although populations can be composed of both individual specialists and generalists, many tradeoffs in resource acquisition and behavior, like high individual site fidelity, can prevent populations from being a mixed composition of individuals20,21,22. One potent effect of individual specialization is that specialists often focus on a single habitat or trophic compartment and do not effectively overlap adjacent food webs9,13,14. For example, individual perch in temperate lakes use only pelagic or littoral habitats and do not couple them as previously thought13. Similarly, individual bull sharks in southern Florida show long-term use of habitats along an estuarine-to-marine gradient but do not effectively couple these habitats9. The number of apex predators that function as individual specialists suggests that trophic coupling among habitats may not be as common as currently assumed16,17. However, few studies have linked individual habitat and diet use to compartmentalized rather than coupled food webs but see9,13,14, and it is unknown how widespread compartmentalization is in contrast to coupling.
