“…Nevertheless, retaining the complete model support our main hypothesis and means that all the anthropogenic disturbances and their cumulative effects that we a priori considered as being important to understand wolf behaviour truly influence habitat selection patterns. Previous studies showed that wolf distribution at the landscape scale is influenced primarily by prey availability and human infrastructure (Mladenoff et al, 1995;Potvin et al, 2005b), but we demonstrate that wolf habitat selection pattern at a fine scale is influenced by complex interactions between habitat attributes and human disturbances (see also Ciucci et al, 2003;Houle et al, 2010). Wolves are habitat generalists that adapt their habitat selection behaviour to prey species availability (Mech and Boitani, 2003).…”
