No Need to Hunt — We Just Wait for the Roadkill

The way the habitat of a species is considered an example of typological thinking biased by human perception. Structural habitat units (e.g. land cover types) as perceived by humans may not represent functional habitat units for other organisms. (Human activity may also interfere with the environmental information used by organisms.) […] Organisms are able to pay attention to specific relevant information of the environment and screen or ignore many other signals. Therefore, habitat use is not a fixed species-specific trait, but a trait that may show significant intra-specific variation.
