Genes, culture and agriculture : an example of human niche construction [PDF]

, 2012
K. N. Laland was supported by an ERC Advanced Grant (EVOCULTURE).Theory and empirical data from a variety of disciplines strongly imply that recent human history involves extensive gene-culture coevolution, much of it as a direct result of human ...

How do lizard niches conserve, diverge or converge? Further exploration of saurian evolutionary ecology

BMC Ecology and Evolution, 2021
Background Environmental conditions on Earth are repeated in non-random patterns that often coincide with species from different regions and time periods having consistent combinations of morphological, physiological and behavioral traits. Observation of

Little ecological divergence associated with speciation in two African rain forest tree genera [PDF]

, 2011
Background The tropical rain forests (TRF) of Africa are the second largest block of this biome after the Amazon and exhibit high levels of plant endemism and diversity. Two main hypotheses have been advanced to explain speciation processes that have led

Advances and links between ecological niche models and phylogeography

Frontiers of Biogeography, 2016
Phylogeography and ecological niche modelling are two key approaches advancing biogeography. A special issue of Folia Zoologica (64: 2015) considers these advances in eight articles, including two reviews—on Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) and ...

Novel Methods in Disease Biogeography: A Case Study with Heterosporosis

Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2017
Disease biogeography is currently a promising field to complement epidemiology, and ecological niche modeling theory and methods are a key component. Therefore, applying the concepts and tools from ecological niche modeling to disease biogeography and ...

Could protected areas in Brazil's semi-arid conserve endangered birds facing climatic and land cover changes?

Biodiversidade Brasileira, 2020
Protected areas act as pillars on which conservation strategies are built. Besides human activities, global climate changes are an additional concern to species' conservation.

Genetic structure and ecological niche segregation of Indian gray mongoose (Urva edwardsii) in Iran

Ecology and Evolution, 2021
Combining genetic data with ecological niche models is an effective approach for exploring climatic and nonclimatic environmental variables affecting spatial patterns of intraspecific genetic variation. Here, we adopted this combined approach to evaluate

Specific habitat requirements and niche conservatism for nine species of the Mexican genus Thelocactus (Cactaceae)

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.

Current and future niche of North and Central American sand flies (Diptera: psychodidae) in climate change scenarios. [PDF]

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2013
Ecological niche models are useful tools to infer potential spatial and temporal distributions in vector species and to measure epidemiological risk for infectious diseases such as the Leishmaniases.
