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.

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 ...

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

Smarandache Breadth Pseudo Null Curves in Minkowski Space-time [PDF]
, 2009 A regular curve with more than 2 breadths in Minkowski 3-space is called a Smarandache Breadth Curve [8]. In this short paper, we adapt notion of Smarandache breadth curves to Pseudo null curves in Minkowski space-time and study a special case of ...

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.

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.

On niche breadth and related concepts [PDF]
Bolletino di zoologia, 1990 Abstract Niche breadth values of three hypothetical resource matrices have been computed by means of four different formulae eventually giving rise to contrasting results. Starting from these results some remarks upon the niche breadth and related concepts are made. It is stressed, on the one hand, that any mathematical approach to the measure of niche

A Simple Measure of Niche Breadth
Ecology, 1981 Niche breadths in animal and plant populations are often measured without regard to the relative frequencies of the various resources available to the organisms. Recent papers have provided more accurate indices for use when available resources can be quantified. These indices may lack wide applicability or simple biological interpretations. We suggest
