Testudinidae Although research in habitat use and selection is crucial to understand aspects of population ecology and adaptation in herpetology, most studies performed to date analyzed these issues by using habitat categories described vaguely from the botanical and vegetation ecology points of view. In this paper, we analyze the habitat use of Testudo hermanni at a coastal Mediterranean site in central Italy by modeling tortoise presence/absence at three spatial scales using a logistic regression design with a very analytical vegetation and phytocoenosis description of the correlates of presence for this species. Our analyses showed that, indeed, only a few plant species are important determinants of the presence and site selection by these tortoises.
