More Information
Can't someone put more information here?! I agree —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.219.199.145 (talk) 04:21, 3 August 2008 (UTC)

Headline text
Is it a really small thing, that is example flower(s), or grass, or is it example forest, or garden?

'''Can I get more information about it? can someone tell me?'''

information
See "Heath" which is a good example. I came here from there. This article (Habitat) could do with some more examples and cross-references e.g. to-from Biodiversity.

Move from Habitat (ecology)
As discussed at Talk:Habitat (disambiguation), I've moved the page here from Habitat (ecology). .. dave souza, talk 19:21, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

Habitat Centre
In case anyone's looking for the 'Habitat Centre' section, I moved it to the existing India Habitat Centre article where it seems to belong. --Heron (talk) 13:19, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

Elephant and gull maps
I'm dubious about these maps. They show the animals' range rather than their habitats. The difference is that a gull's range might include, say, Norway, but its habitat would be the coast and cliffs. A picture of a group of animals in their typical habitat would be a more appropriate picture. Sophie means wisdom (talk) 21:07, 3 November 2012 (UTC)

Urban habitats?
Most urban developments inadvertently offer particular niches to feral or intrusive "wildlife", sometimes in vast numbers. And, of course (by design) to human beings. The article doesn't seem to cover this; have I missed something, or is it covered elsewhere? Very nice article, btw! Haploidavey (talk) 09:54, 7 July 2016 (UTC)

This seems to be covered, more or less, by the articles Human ecology; and Urban ecology, but a brief summary and links in the Habitat article might be useful. Haploidavey (talk) 10:49, 7 July 2016 (UTC)
 * I have added a paragraph on the urban habitat. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 17:59, 7 July 2016 (UTC)

Habitats Regulation Assessment
, Habitats Regulation Assessment is a red link. I know that am being a bit cheeky but I guess this is as good a place as any to call for volunteers. Would anyone here care to write it? (I know nothing about the subject). There are multiple google hits on UK local authorities doing it or requiring it. There is an advisory paper for airport operators at https://www.aef.org.uk/uploads/PlanningGuide7.pdf Thank you. --John Maynard Friedman (talk) 20:32, 20 February 2019 (UTC)

Criticism

 * I see another person has brought it up, but I severely question if "monotypic habitat" is truly a real concept. The reference about Hydrilla is the only one to use that term in the references, and appears to be one of the few papers Google can find for me using the terminology. Otherwise there are lots of sites coping the Wikipedia text, or referring to the Hydrilla paper, which was being slightly misquoted anyway. I believe it may be a mistake and the authors wanted to use the word monoculture, which Wikipedia may have turned into a neologism out of ignorance.
 * Regarding the above, natural habitats may be monocultural as well, think spruces in taiga, pioneer plants, coconuts on a desert island, penguins on an ice floe, or that bizarre picture of all those white crabs in this article.
 * I'm missing stuff on habitat succession (natural changes in habitat), and concepts such as arboreal, cursorial (the word I was trying to remember when coming here), fossorial, diurnal, crepuscular, mosiac theory, parasite habitats.
 * I toned down some of the emphasis on environmentalism, but more might be needed -A section on "habitat destruction" is certainly warranted, but for the rest it's off-topic and the concept of "habitat" doesn't need to be yet another polemic on the evils of man.


 * What is the article's overall status?

What are the article's strengths? How can the article be improved? How would you assess the article's completeness - i.e. Is the article well-developed? Is it underdeveloped or poorly developed? Overall evaluation: The article is interesting and covers multiple topics. The pictures stand out and draw you into the topic. There seem to be some reviews that said some information should be clarified or changed around. There was some wording that could be improved and could get to the point more clearly. I found the article interesting overall. The article provided various subheadings, which I believe is a strength.Bheff202 (talk) 05:37, 7 February 2020 (UTC) Just saying,  Leo Breman (talk) 17:57, 4 February 2020 (UTC)

Introductory Paragraph
The introductory paragraph makes the point strongly that a habitat is defined by considering a particular species. However, a cursory glance at the rest of the article indicates habitat is used as a more general term: a contradiction. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.227.31.76 (talk) 20:36, 6 January 2021 (UTC)
