Frontiers in Robotics and AI, 2020 Niche construction is a process in which organisms modify the selection pressures on themselves and others through their ecological activities, and ecological inheritance is the consequence of niche construction inherited through generations. However, it

Morphological similarity and ecological overlap in two rotifer species. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Co-occurrence of cryptic species raises theoretically relevant questions regarding their coexistence and ecological similarity. Given their great morphological similitude and close phylogenetic relationship (i.e., niche retention), these species will ...

Isotopic niche variability in macroconsumers of the East Scotia Ridge (Southern Ocean) hydrothermal vents: What more can we learn from an ellipse? [PDF]
, 2016 Aspects of between-individual trophic niche width can be explored through the isotopic niche concept. In many cases isotopic variability can be influenced by the scale of sampling and biological characteristics including body size or sex.

kuenm: an R package for detailed development of ecological niche models using Maxent
PeerJ, 2019 Background Ecological niche modeling is a set of analytical tools with applications in diverse disciplines, yet creating these models rigorously is now a challenging task.

Eltonian Niche Modelling: Applying Joint Hierarchical Niche Models to Ecological Networks
Ecology LettersABSTRACT There is currently a dichotomy in the modelling of Grinnellian and Eltonian niches. Despite similar underlying data, Grinnellian niches are modelled with species‐distribution models (SDMs), whereas Eltonian niches are modelled with ecological‐network analysis, mainly because the sparsity of species‐interaction data prevents ...

Ecologic Niche Modeling of Blastomyces dermatitidis in Wisconsin
PLoS ONE, 2008 Blastomycosis is a potentially fatal mycosis that is acquired by inhaling infectious spores of Blastomyces dermatitidis present in the environment. The ecology of this pathogen is poorly understood, in part because it has been extremely difficult to identify the niche(s) it occupies based on culture isolation of the organism from environmental samples ...

Strength through diversity: how cancers thrive when clones cooperate
Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.Intratumor heterogeneity can offer direct benefits to the tumor through cooperation between different clones. In this review, Kuiken et al. discuss existing evidence for clonal cooperativity to identify overarching principles, and highlight how novel technological developments could address remaining open questions.

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.Comparative analysis of chloroplast genomes from 14 genera of Thymelaeaceae revealed variation in gene content, ranging from 128 to 142 genes, primarily influenced by IR expansion/contraction events and pseudogenization of ndhF, ndhI, and ndhG. Two large inversions were detected within the large single‐copy region, including a synapomorphic inversion ...

International Journal of Health Geographics, 2010 BackgroundThe purpose of this study is to create distribution models of two sand fly species, Phlebotomus papatasi (Scopoli) and P. alexandri (Sinton), across the Middle East. Phlebotomus alexandri is a vector of visceral leishmaniasis, while P. papatasi
