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.

Scientific Reports, 2023 Species’ ecological niches are frequently analysed to gain insights into how anthropogenic changes affect biodiversity. Coping with these changes often involves shifts in niche expression, which can disrupt local biotic interactions.

Integrating phylogeographic and ecological niche approaches to delimitating cryptic lineages in the blue–green damselfish (Chromis viridis) [PDF]
PeerJ, 2019 Species delimitation is challenging in sibling species/cryptic lineages because of the absence of clear diagnostic traits. However, integration of different approaches such as phylogeography and ecological niche comparison offers one potential approach ...

Ecological niche of plant pathogens [PDF]
Annals of Forest Research, 2011 Disease ecology is a new approach to the understanding of the spread and dynamics of pathogens in natural and man-made environments. Defining and describing the ecological niche of the pathogens is one of the major tasks for ecological theory, as well as

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022 The role of ecological niche divergence in lineage speciation has recently stimulated the interest of evolutionary biologists and ecologists. Phylogenetic analysis has revealed that the Hyrcanian wood frog, Rana pseudodalmatina, has diverged into two ...

Defining the niche for niche construction: evolutionary and ecological niches [PDF]
Biology & 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?

Laboratory measures of boldness correlate with ecological niche in threespine stickleback
Ecology and Evolution, 2022 Research on among individual variation in behavior has increased rapidly in recent years. It is intuitively appealing that variation in the behavior of individuals has ecological consequences, for example, on trophic niche.

Acknowledging uncertainty in evolutionary reconstructions of ecological niches
Ecology and Evolution, 2020 Reconstructing ecological niche evolution can provide insight into the biogeography and diversification of evolving lineages. However, comparative phylogenetic methods may infer the history of ecological niche evolution inaccurately because (a) species ...
