Habitat niche breadth predicts invasiveness in solitary ascidians. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2017 AbstractA major focus of invasion biology is understanding the traits associated with introduction success. Most studies assess these traits in the invaded region, while only few compare nonindigenous species to the pool of potential invaders in their native region.

Isotopic niches support the resource breadth hypothesis [PDF]
Journal of Animal Ecology, 2017 SummaryBecause a broad spectrum of resource use allows species to persist in a wide range of habitat types, and thus permits them to occupy large geographical areas, and because broadly distributed species have access to more diverse resource bases, the resource breadth hypothesis posits that the diversity of resources used by organisms should be ...

Feeding ecology of endemic frogs of the Atlantic Forest in southern Brazil [PDF]
Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2022 Our objective was to describe and compare the diet of endemic anurans of the Atlantic Forest, as well as to evaluate the influence of biotic factors on the trophic ecology of the species.

Macroecological Patterns of Climatic Niche Breadth Variation in Lacertid Lizards [PDF]
, 2019 Measuring climatic niche position and breadth may help to determine where species can occur over space and time. Using GIS-based and phylogenetic comparative methods, we investigated global patterns of variation in climatic niche breadth in lacertid ...

Belowground nitrogen partitioning in experimental grassland plant communities of varying species richness [PDF]
, 2009 Partitioning of soil nitrogen (N) by niche separation among species may be an important mechanism explaining species coexistence and positive biodiversity–productivity relationships in terrestrial plant communities. However, there is little experimental

Niche divergence and limits to expansion in the high polyploid Dianthus broteri complex [PDF]
, 2019 Niche evolution in plant polyploids remains controversial and evidence for alternative patterns has been reported. Using the autopolyploid Dianthus broteri complex (2×, 4×, 6× and 12×) as a model, we aimed to integrate three scenarios – competitive ...

Metabolic flexibility as a major predictor of spatial distribution in microbial communities [PDF]
, 2014 A better understand the ecology of microbes and their role in the global ecosystem could be achieved if traditional ecological theories can be applied to microbes. In ecology organisms are defined as specialists or generalists according to the breadth of
