Range size positively correlates with temperature and precipitation niche breadths but not with dietary niche breadth in triatomine insects, vectors of Chagas disease.

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases
Ecological theory predicts that species that can utilise a greater diversity of resources and, therefore, have wider niche breadths should also occupy larger geographic areas (the 'niche breadth-range size hypothesis').

A classification system for predicting invasiveness using climatic niche traits and global distribution models: application to alien plant species in Chile [PDF]

NeoBiota, 2020
Functional traits that predict plant invasiveness are a central issue in invasion ecology. However, in many cases they are difficult to determine, especially for a large set of species.

Linking changes in individual specialization and population niche of space use across seasons in the great evening bat (Ia io)

Movement Ecology, 2023
Background The niche breadth of an animal population comprises both within-individual and between-individual variation (individual specialization). Both components can be used to explain changes in population niche breadth, and this has been extensively ...

Populations of western North American monkeyflowers accrue niche breadth primarily via genotypic divergence in environmental optima

Ecology and Evolution, 2022
Niche breadth, the range of environments that individuals, populations, and species can tolerate, is a fundamental ecological and evolutionary property, yet few studies have examined how niche breadth is partitioned across biological scales.

Variable effects of wolves on niche breadth and density of intraguild competitors

Ecology and Evolution, 2022
The parallel niche release hypothesis (PNR) indicates that reduced competition with dominant competitors results in greater density and niche breadth of subordinate competitors and which may support an adaptive advantage.

Interspecies trophic niche differences and spatial–temporal adaptations found in Cultrinae fishes

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023
It has been debated whether interspecies niche differences may follow niche conservatism, whether niches are becoming specialists, whether generalists and specialists are maintained in a balance, and how the realized niche may adapt to local or temporal ...

Evolution of Ecological Niche Breadth [PDF]

Annual Review of Ecology, Evolution, and Systematics, 2017
How ecological niche breadth evolves is central to adaptation and speciation and has been a topic of perennial interest. Niche breadth evolution research has occurred within environmental, ecological, evolutionary, and biogeographical contexts, and although some generalities have emerged, critical knowledge gaps exist.

Niche breadth and overlap of spotted deer and domestic cattle with swamp deer in tropical region of Nepal

Ecological Processes, 2022
Background Knowledge about the niche overlap among wild species and domestic cattle is helpful to conserve and manage wildlife. We assessed the habitat niche breadth and overlap of sympatrically living spotted deer (Axis axis) and domestic cattle with ...
