Ecological niche divergence or ecological niche partitioning in a widespread Neotropical bird lineage [PDF]
PeerJEcological niche divergence is generally considered to be a facet of evolution that may accompany geographic isolation and diversification in allopatry, contributing to species’ evolutionary distinctiveness through time.

Learning the ecological niche [PDF]
Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2006 A cornerstone of ecological theory is the ecological niche. Yet little is known about how individuals come to adopt it: whether it is innate or learned. Here, we report a cross-fostering experiment in the wild where we transferred eggs of blue tits, Cyanistes caeruleus , to nests of great tits, Parus ...

Ecological niche divergence and specialization in Dianthus pseudocrinitus, a neo-endemic species: ecological evidence challenges sister-taxon delimitation [PDF]
BMC Ecology and EvolutionClarifying species boundaries within taxonomically complex groups like Dianthus is paramount for understanding evolutionary processes and biodiversity. This study employed a spatially explicit, integrative ecological approach to assess the niche dynamics

Niche Filling Dynamics of Ragweed (Ambrosia artemisiifolia L.) during Global Invasion
Plants, 2023 Determining whether the climatic ecological niche of an invasive alien plant is similar to that of the niche occupied by its native population (ecological niche conservatism) is essential for predicting the plant invasion process.
