Abstract

Habitatselection ofwildlife isone of the mostimportantecological processes. However, itis difficultto study the habitatutilizationof small and solitary forestruminants(SSFR) because of theirsecretive nature and their relatively closed habitat. Thus, there are few reports in the literature. Nevertheless, because these studies can contribute to the understanding of evolutionary processes in the life style of ruminants and even ungulates, the habitat preferences of small and solitary forestruninantshasbecome an importanttopic. This reviewsummarized the general characteristics of small and solitary forest ruminant habitats and the influence of developmental stages on their habitat utilization. The status of advances in research on habitat selection at different scales were also discussed. Furthermore, integrated study methods using multi-scales in habitat selection were emphasized, and impacts of habitat fragmentation on small and solitary forest ruminantswere explored.[Ch, 60 ref.]
