To what degree are philosophy and the ecological niche concept necessary in the ecological theory and conservation? [PDF]
, 2017 Ecology as a field produces philosophical anxiety, largely because it differs in scientific structure from classical physics. The hypothetical deductive models of classical physics are simple and predictive; general ecological models are ...

Anthropogenic fire patterns affect niche breadth and niche overlap in sympatric songbird species
Science of The Total Environment, 2022 The severity of wildfires increases globally, and return intervals decrease. Fires can benefit biodiversity, as post-burn early successional stages provide diverse habitats and niches for many species. How fire disturbance affects niche use and niche overlap of species is poorly understood so far. We studied the effect of anthropogenic fire on breeding

Nature Communications, 2020 Ecological niche breadth may help explain spatial distribution patterns in animals. In this study on European bats, Alberdi et al. combine DNA metabarcoding and species distribution modelling to show that dietary niche breadth is related to hunting ...

Reconsidering the specialist-generalist paradigm in niche breadth dynamics: resource gradient selection by Canada lynx and bobcat. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 The long-standing view in ecology is that disparity in overall resource selection is the basis for identifying niche breadth patterns, with species having narrow selection being classified "specialists" and those with broader selection being "generalists"

Ecological Indicators, 2023 Understanding niche and its parameters including niche breadth and niche overlap hold promise in discerning the needs, tolerances of organisms and also the extent of niche overlap among the sympatric species.

Jurnal Ilmu Komunikasi, 2013 : This article describes the radio competition in Yogyakarta at 2005. The radio competition was measured by using niche theory and as an unit of analysis is radio program. Niche theory was applied by measuring niche breadth and niche overlap.

A spatially explicit model for competition among specialists and generalists in a heterogeneous environment [PDF]
, 2006 Competition is a major force in structuring ecological communities. The strength of competition can be measured using the concept of a niche. A niche comprises the set of requirements of an organism in terms of habitat, environment and functional role ...

Niche breadth affects bacterial transcription patterns along a salinity gradient [PDF]
Molecular Ecology, 2021 AbstractUnderstanding the molecular mechanisms that determine a species' life history is important for predicting their susceptibility to environmental change. While specialist species with a narrow niche breadth (NB) maximize their fitness in their optimum habitat, generalists with broad NB adapt to multiple environments.

Ecology and Evolution, 2022 Germination timing is an important determinant of survival and niche breadth of plants. The annual plant Nigella sativa occurs in diverse environments along a steep temperature gradient and thus is a suitable model for the study of germination behavior ...
