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.

Defining the niche for niche construction: evolutionary and ecological niches [PDF]
Biology and Philosophy, 2021 AbstractNiche construction theory (NCT) aims to transform and unite evolutionary biology and ecology. Much of the debate about NCT has focused on construction. Less attention has been accorded to the niche: what is it, exactly, that organisms are constructing?

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

Invasion of old world Tamarix chinensis and T. ramosissima in the new world: ecological niche shifts during the invasion process [PDF]
BMC Plant BiologyBiological invasions under global climate change can profoundly affect ecosystem functions and biodiversity. Understanding how invasive species adjust their ecological niches in novel environments is essential for predicting invasion risks and informing ...

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.

Hutchinson’s ecological niche for individuals
Biology & Philosophy, 2021 AbstractWe here develop a concept of an individualized niche in analogy to Hutchison’s population-level concept of the ecological niche. We consider the individualized (ecological) niche as the range of environmental conditions under which a particular individual has an expected lifetime reproductive success of ≥ 1.
