Specialists, generalists and the shape of the ecological niche in fungi
New Phytologist, 2022 The terms ‘generalist’ and ‘specialist’ are commonly used to describe a species’ ecology but their precise meaning is rarely considered. In particular, are specialists specialised in all aspects of their lives, or in only some or only one?

Evaluating the ecological realism of plant species distribution models with ecological indicator values [PDF]
, 2020 Species distribution models (SDMs) are routinely applied to assess current as well as future species distributions, for example to assess impacts of future environmental change on biodiversity or to underpin conservation planning.

Thoughts on the evolution and ecological niche of diatoms
Ecological Monographs, 2021 . Diatoms are the most recent major algal lineage added to the geological record, appearing more than 200 million years ago. They are stramenopile protists resulting from a secondary endosymbiotic event that yielded the only photosynthetic protistan ...

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 ...

Common mistakes in ecological niche models
International Journal of Geographical Information Science, 2020 Ecological niche models (ENMs) are widely used statistical methods to estimate various types of species niches. After lecturing several editions of introductory courses on ENMs and reviewing numerous manuscripts on this subject, we frequently faced some ...

An ecological niche shift for Neanderthal populations in Western Europe 70,000 years ago
Scientific Reports, 2021 Middle Paleolithic Neanderthal populations occupied Eurasia for at least 250,000 years prior to the arrival of anatomically modern humans. While a considerable body of archaeological research has focused on Neanderthal material culture and subsistence ...

Niche divergence and limits to expansion in the high polyploid Dianthus broteri complex [PDF]
, 2019 Niche evolution in plant polyploids remains controversial and evidence for alternative patterns has been reported. Using the autopolyploid Dianthus broteri complex (2×, 4×, 6× and 12×) as a model, we aimed to integrate three scenarios – competitive ...

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
