Range Size and Niche Breadth as Predictors of Climate-Induced Habitat Change in Epipactis (Orchidaceae)

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022
While there is mounting evidence that ongoing changes in the climate system are shifting species ranges poleward and to higher altitudes, responses to climate change vary considerably between species. In general, it can be expected that species responses

Wetland selection, niche breadth and overlap in 10 duck species wintering in northern Campania (Italy)

Rivista Italiana di Ornitologia - Research in Ornithology, 2018
Analysis of the selection index, the niche breadth and the niche overlap of 10 species of wintering ducks in 11 wetland areas of the Campania region between January 2003 and 2015 revealed that the distribution of the species in the examined sites was not

Niche Breadth and Feeding in Tropical Grasshoppers

International 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

FEBS 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.

Measurement of Niche Breadth and Overlap: The Colwell‐Futuyma Method

Ecology, 1973
The Colwell—Futuyma niche metrics are examined by means of data on microgeographic distribution of 25 species of drosophilid flies. Niche metrics based on a variety of weighting factors (circular, non—circular, absolute, and relative) are highly positively correlated. Unweighted metrics are highly correlated with all weighted metrics. The niche breadth

The human gut microbiome across the life course

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Despite significant individual variation and continuous change throughout life, the human gut microbiome follows some life stage‐specific trends. This article provides a brief overview of how gut microbiome composition shifts across different phases of life. Created in BioRender. Özkurt, E. (2026) https://BioRender.com/8q4nrnc.

Tree species occurring in Amazonian wetland forests consistently show broader range sizes and niche breadths than trees in upland forests

Ecology and Evolution
Generally, species with broad niches also show large range sizes. We investigated the relationship between hydrological niche breadth and geographic range size for Amazonian tree species seeking to understand the role of habitat specialization to ...

From mice to humans—divergent strategies for intestinal homeostasis and regeneration

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Recent advances such as organoid genome editing, xenotransplantation, imaging, and whole‐genome sequencing have enabled direct studies of human intestinal stem cells (ISCs). These studies reveal species‐specific features, including slower ISC proliferation, distinct injury responses, slower somatic mutation accumulation in humans, and an inverse ...

Modelling stem cell differentiation related processes—A practical overview for biologists

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Stem cell differentiation is complex and difficult to control experimentally. This review introduces suitable computational modelling approaches that can support stem cell research, from mechanistic ODE and abstract models to multiscale and deep learning methods.

Foraging Activity and Trophic Spectrum of Red Ant Pogonomyrmex barbatus Smith, 1858, in Productivity-Contrasted Microenvironments

Psyche: A Journal of Entomology, 2012
Foraging strategies can be influenced by many factors such as abundance, availability, and toxicity of the resources. In arid zones, the distribution and productivity of plants also act as additional factors that affect foraging strategies.
