Geometry of ecological coexistence and niche differentiation. [PDF]
Phys Rev E, 2023 A fundamental problem in ecology is to understand how competition shapes biodiversity and species coexistence. Historically, one important approach for addressing this question has been to analyze Consumer Resource Models (CRMs) using geometric arguments.

Light-dependent niche differentiation in two mixotrophic bacterivores. [PDF]
Environ Microbiol Rep, 2022 Summary Mixotrophy usually is considered with respect to the advantages gained and the associated trade‐offs of this form of nutrition, compared to specialized competitors, strict photoautotrophs and heterotrophs. However, we currently have an incomplete

Niche differentiation in rainforest ant communities across three continents [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2019 A central prediction of niche theory is that biotic communities are structured by niche differentiation arising from competition. To date, there have been numerous studies of niche differentiation in local ant communities, but little attention has been ...

Multi‐dimensional niche differentiation of two sympatric breeding secondary cave‐nesting birds in Northeast China using DNA metabarcoding [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionNiche theory predicts that ecologically similar sympatric species should show differentiation in at least one of the main niche dimensions (time, space, and/or food).

Niche Differentiation of Three Terrestrial Isopod Species Based on DNA Metabarcoding [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionSpecies coexistence is a hot topic in ecology, with niche differentiation playing a key role in reducing interspecific competition. This study investigates the dietary habits and niche differentiation of three terrestrial isopod species (Armadillidium ...

Microbial niche differentiation explains nitrite oxidation in marine oxygen minimum zones
The ISME Journal, 2021 Nitrite is a pivotal component of the marine nitrogen cycle. The fate of nitrite determines the loss or retention of fixed nitrogen, an essential nutrient for all organisms.

Ecological niche differentiation in Chiroxiphia and Antilophia manakins (Aves: Pipridae).
PLoS ONE, 2021 Species distribution models are useful for identifying the ecological characteristics that may limit a species' geographic range and for inferring patterns of speciation.
