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 ...

Niche breadth and divergence in sympatric cryptic coral species (Pocillopora spp.) across habitats within reefs and among algal symbionts [PDF]
Evolutionary ApplicationsWhile the presence of morphologically cryptic species is increasingly recognized, we still lack a useful understanding of what causes and maintains co‐occurring cryptic species and its consequences for the ecology, evolution, and conservation of ...

Niche breadth and feeding in tropical grasshoppers [PDF]
International Journal of Tropical Insect Science, 1991 Consumption indices and apparent digestibility are measured for seven species of grasshoppers from Lamto (Ivory Coast), representative of different trophic specialization steps (Le Gall and Gillon, 1989). The consumption indices vary from 0.11 to 0.34 and the apparent digestibility from 30 to 65%.

A social niche breadth score reveals niche range strategies of generalists and specialists. [PDF]
Nat Ecol Evol, 2023 Abstract Generalists can survive in many environments, whereas specialists are restricted to a single environment. Although a classical concept in ecology, niche breadth has remained challenging to quantify for microorganisms because it depends on an objective definition of the environment.

The global determinants of climate niche breadth in birds. [PDF]
Nat CommunUnderstanding why certain species occupy wider climate niches than others is a fundamental pursuit in ecology with important implications for conservation and management. However, existing synthesis on this topic has focused on the consequences rather than the causes of climate niche expansion, leading to significant gaps in our understanding of the ...

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.

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 ...

Niche breadth of Amazonian trees increases with niche optimum across broad edaphic gradients [PDF]
Ecology, 2023 AbstractUnderstanding how biotic interactions and environmental filtering mediated by soil properties shape plant community assembly is a major challenge in ecology, especially when studying complex and hyperdiverse ecosystems like tropical forests. To shed light on the influence of both factors, we examined how the edaphic optimum of species (their ...

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 ...
