Macroecological Patterns of Climatic Niche Breadth Variation in Lacertid Lizards [PDF]

open access: yes, 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 ...

DNA metabarcoding and spatial modelling link diet diversification with distribution homogeneity in European bats

open access: yesNature 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]

open access: yesPLoS 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"

Patterns of dietary niche breadth and overlap are maintained for two closely related carnivores across broad geographic scales

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022
Ecological studies investigating niche breadth and overlap often have limited spatial and temporal scale, preventing generalizations across varying environments and communities.

Seed germination thermal niche differs among nine populations of an annual plant: A modeling approach

open access: yesEcology 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 ...

Large scale field-based evaluation of niche breadth, niche overlap and interspecific association of Western Himalayan temperate forest tree species

open access: yesEcological 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.

Cohabitation Study of Tricolour Langur (Presbytis chrysomelas ssp. cruciger) and Proboscis Monkey (Nasalis larvatus) in Bukit Semujan Danau Sentarum National Park

open access: yesJurnal 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

Relative Role of Dispersal Dynamics and Competition in Niche Breadth [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Among-individual variation in resource use is pervasive and may have ecosystem-wide effects. This variation between individuals can affect population niche breadth.

Niche Breadth and Feeding in Tropical Grasshoppers

open access: yesInternational 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%.

Diversity and complexity in neural organoids

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Neural organoid research aims to expand genetic diversity on one side and increase tissue complexity on the other. Chimeroids integrate multiple donor genomes within single organoids. Self‐organising multi‐identity organoids, exogenous cell seeding, or enforced assembly of region‐specific organoids contribute to tissue complexity.
