Reconstructing Ecological Niche Evolution When Niches Are Incompletely Characterized [PDF]
Systematic Biology, 2017 Evolutionary dynamics of abiotic ecological niches across phylogenetic history can shed light on large-scale biogeographic patterns, macroevolutionary rate shifts, and the relative ability of lineages to respond to global change. An unresolved question is how best to represent and reconstruct evolution of these complex traits at coarse spatial scales ...

Human behavioral ecology and niche construction [PDF]
Evolutionary Anthropology: Issues, News, and Reviews, 2021 AbstractWe examine the relationship between niche construction theory (NCT) and human behavioral ecology (HBE), two branches of evolutionary science that are important sources of theory in archeology. We distinguish between formal models of niche construction as an evolutionary process, and uses of niche construction to refer to a kind of human ...

PLoS ONE, 2020 The Amazonian and Atlantic Forest share several organisms that are currently isolated but were continuously distributed during the Quaternary period. As both biomes are under different climatic regimes, paleoclimatic events may have modulated species ...

Revista Mexicana de Biodiversidad, 2019 Although Mexican Cactaceae are a significative component of Mexican flora and have a relevant economic and ornamental value, the knowledge of the environmental factors characterizing their niche is still rather limited.

Niche occupation limits adaptive radiation in experimental microcosms. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2007 Adaptive radiations have played a key role in the evolution of biological diversity. The breadth of adaptive radiation in an invading lineage is likely to be influenced by the availability of ecological niches, which will be determined to some extent by ...

Nature, 1946 A SUPERB example illustrating the ecological niche is afforded by the distribution of the plankton copepod Limnocalanus macrurus, a freshwater relict derived from the marine arctic species L. Grimaldii. The animal has an upper temperature limit of 14° C, and a lower limit of dissolved oxygen of 4 c.c./l. oxygen.

Genecological aspects of air pollution effects on northern forests.
Silva Fennica, 1981 Natural forest tree populations are adapted to their natural environment. Forest tree species under northern conditions are at the edge of their range where the short growing season and the low winter temperatures are the two main factors limiting their ...
