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 ...

A niche for neutrality [PDF]

Ecology Letters, 2007
Abstract Ecologists now recognize that controversy over the relative importance of niches and neutrality cannot be resolved by analyzing species abundance patterns. Here, we use classical coexistence theory to reframe the debate in terms of stabilizing mechanisms (niches) and fitness equivalence (neutrality).

Determining trophic niche width: a novel approach using stable isotope analysis [PDF]

, 2004
1. Although conceptually robust, it has proven difficult to find practical measures of niche width that are simple to obtain, yet provide an adequate descriptor of the ecological position of the population examined. 2.

Invasion success of a global avian invader is explained by within-taxon niche structure and association with humans in the native range [PDF]

, 2015
Aim To mitigate the threat invasive species pose to ecosystem functioning, reli- able risk assessment is paramount. Spatially explicit predictions of invasion risk obtained through bioclimatic envelope models calibrated with native species distribution ...

The relationship between niche breadth and geographic range size in African Horseshoe bats (Rhinolophidae, Chiroptera) [PDF]

, 2011
According to Brown's hypothesis, generalists have high niche breadth and can tolerate a wide variety of environmental conditions resulting in large geographic range sizes. Conversely, specialists have low niche breadth and small range sizes.

Nutritional Quality and Popability of Popcorn (Zea mays L. var. everta) in Response to Compost and NPK 20-7-3 Application under Dryland Condition of South Africa

International Journal of Food Science, 2023
The dietary value of popcorn, an important snack, depends on its proximate and nutritional constituents, while the economic worth is based on popability and expansion traits of the kernels. There is paucity of information on how soil fertility influences

Ecological niche modelling and nDNA sequencing support a new, morphologically cryptic beetle species unveiled by DNA barcoding. [PDF]

, 2011
DNA sequencing techniques used to estimate biodiversity, such as DNA barcoding, may reveal cryptic species. However, disagreements between barcoding and morphological data have already led to controversy.
