Niche construction in the light of niche theory

Ecology Letters, 2010
Ecology Letters (2011) 14: 82–90AbstractEcological niche construction, the process whereby an organism improves its environment to enhance its growth and persistence, is an important missing element of niche theory. Niche theory has mainly focused on niche‐deteriorating processes, such as resource consumption, predation and competition, which have ...

Adaptive Niche Radii and Niche Shapes Approaches for Niching with the CMA-ES

Evolutionary Computation, 2010
While the motivation and usefulness of niching methods is beyond doubt, the relaxation of assumptions and limitations concerning the hypothetical search landscape is much needed if niching is to be valid in a broader range of applications. Upon the introduction of radii-based niching methods with derandomized evolution strategies (ES), the purpose of ...

Niche explosion

Genetica, 2010
The following syndrome of features occurs in several groups of phytophagous insects: (1) wingless females, (2) dispersal by larvae, (3) woody hosts, (4) extreme polyphagy, (5) high abundance, resulting in status as economic pests, (6) invasiveness, and (7) obligate parthenogenesis in some populations. If extreme polyphagy is defined as feeding on 20 or

On the limit to niche overlap for nonuniform niches

Theoretical Population Biology, 1976
Abstract May and MacArthur (1972) have demonstrated that where several species are in competition for a single resource the requirement of long term population stability sets an upper limit to the allowable similarity of competing species. Their model considers a community of N species competing on a one dimensional resource continuum e.g., food ...
