Current BiologyOne of the central research questions in ecology and biogeography revolves around understanding the spatial distribution patterns of organisms, the factors influencing species abundance, and why in certain areas there are more species or individuals than in others.

Evolution of Ecological Niche Breadth [PDF]
, 2017 How ecological niche breadth evolves is central to adaptation and speciation and has been a topic of perennial interest. Niche breadth evolution research has occurred within environmental, ecological, evolutionary, and biogeographical contexts, and ...

Ecological Niche Modeling: An Introduction for Veterinarians and Epidemiologists
Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2020 Most infectious diseases in animals are not distributed randomly. Instead, diseases in livestock and wildlife are predictable in terms of the geography, time, and species affected. Ecological niche modeling approaches have been crucial to the advancement

On the Ecological Niche of the West
European Journal of GeographyThe Western Civilization, comprising Western Europe, the US, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, challenges the definition of civilization as a group of populations sharing a common geographic locus. However, its locus may be biogeographic rather than geographic.

Description of an ecological niche for a mixed local/nonlocal dispersal: An evolution equation and a new Neumann condition arising from the superposition of Brownian and Lévy processes [PDF]
Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications, 2021 We propose here a motivation for a mixed local/nonlocal problem with a new type of Neumann condition. Our description is based on formal expansions and approximations.

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 differentiation in Chiroxiphia and Antilophia manakins (Aves: Pipridae).
PLoS ONE, 2021 Species distribution models are useful for identifying the ecological characteristics that may limit a species' geographic range and for inferring patterns of speciation.

To what degree are philosophy and the ecological niche concept necessary in the ecological theory and conservation? [PDF]
, 2017 Ecology as a field produces philosophical anxiety, largely because it differs in scientific structure from classical physics. The hypothetical deductive models of classical physics are simple and predictive; general ecological models are ...
