Ecological niche overlap among species of the genus Zaluzania (Asteraceae) from the dry regions of Mexico [PDF]
Plant Ecology and Evolution, 2020 Background and aims – The hypothesis of ecological niche conservatism postulates that closely related species share ecologically similar environments; that is, they tend to maintain the characteristics of their fundamental niche over time.

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.

Niche Filling Dynamics of Ragweed (Ambrosia artemisiifolia L.) during Global Invasion
Plants, 2023 Determining whether the climatic ecological niche of an invasive alien plant is similar to that of the niche occupied by its native population (ecological niche conservatism) is essential for predicting the plant invasion process.

Ecological niche modeling of Bacillus anthracis on three continents: evidence for genetic-ecological divergence? [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 We modeled the ecological niche of a globally successful Bacillus anthracis sublineage in the United States, Italy and Kazakhstan to better understand the geographic distribution of anthrax and potential associations between regional populations and ...

Niche modeling reveals life history shifts in birds at La Brea over the last twenty millennia.
PLoS ONE, 2020 A species presence at a particular site can change over time, resulting in temporally dynamic species pools. Ecological niche models provide estimates of species presence at different time intervals.

Importance of biotic predictors in estimation of potential invasive areas: the example of the tortoise beetle Eurypedus nigrosignatus, in Hispaniola [PDF]
PeerJ, 2018 Climatic variables have been the main predictors employed in ecological niche modeling and species distribution modeling, although biotic interactions are known to affect species’ spatial distributions via mechanisms such as predation, competition, and ...

Mainstreaming remotely sensed ecosystem functioning in ecological niche models
Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, 2022 Biodiversity is declining globally at unprecedented rates. Ecological niche models (ENMs) are one of the most widely used toolsets to appraise global change impacts on biodiversity.
