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"

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

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 ...

Jurnal Ilmu Kehutanan, 2023 The tricolour langur and proboscis monkey in Bukit Semujan cohabited and utilized the same resources. Cohabitation, mainly due to resource constraints, needed substantial attention to ensure the survival of these primates. This research aimed to map the

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

Cultivation has selected for a wider niche and large range shifts in maize [PDF]
PeerJ, 2022 Background Maize (Zea mays L.) is a staple crop cultivated on a global scale. However, its ability to feed the rapidly growing human population may be impaired by climate change, especially if it has low climatic niche and range lability.
