Habitat selection has been a central focus of animal ecology, with research primarily concentrating on habitat choice, utilization, and evaluation. However, studies confined to single scale often fail reveal the needs animals fully accurately. This paper investigates wintering whooper swan (Cygnus cygnus) in Manas National Wetland Park, Xinjiang, using satellite tracking determine their locations. The Maximum Entropy model (MaxEnt) was applied explore multi-scales Park’s swans across nighttime, daytime, landscape scales. study showed that varied different At scale, prefer habitats average winter precipitations 6.9 mm temperatures −6 °C, including water bodies wetlands, indicating climate (precipitation temperature) land type (wetlands bodies) influence selection. During areas close bodies, bare land, more dispersed distribution bodies. For they tend choose within wetland park where human disturbance is minimal safety higher. can provide scientific basis data support for conservation management waterbirds like swans, recommending targeted measures effectively manage protect grounds swans.
