“…Such biases towards wealthy countries and temperate forest ecosystems are widespread in ecological studies (Martin, Blossey, & Ellis, 2012) and can limit the scalability and applicability of ecological theory. We therefore recommend to conduct more animal-habitat studies with LiDAR-derived vegetation metrics in tropical forests (Davies, Ancrenaz, Oram, & Asner, 2017;Singh, Tokola, Hou, & Notarnicola, 2017;Wallis et al, 2016), savannas (Loarie, Tambling, & Asner, 2013), wetlands and aquatic reedbeds (Corti Meneses, Baier, Geist, & Schneider, 2017;Zlinszky, Mücke, Lehner, Briese, & Pfeifer, 2012), riparian habitats (Seavy, Viers, Wood, Eavy, & Iers, 2009), or in low-stature terrestrial habitats such as grasslands, tundra, shrublands or agricultural areas (e.g., Svendsen, Sell, Bøcher, & Svenning, 2015;Boelman et al, 2016).…”
