Niche differentiation in rainforest ant communities across three continents
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 ...

Wnt signaling-mediated redox regulation maintains the germ line stem cell differentiation niche [PDF]
eLife, 2015 Adult stem cells continuously undergo self-renewal and generate differentiated cells. In the Drosophila ovary, two separate niches control germ line stem cell (GSC) self-renewal and differentiation processes.

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.

Stem Cell Reports, 2018 Summary: Satellite cells are adult muscle stem cells residing in a specialized niche that regulates their homeostasis. How niche-generated signals integrate to regulate gene expression in satellite cell-derived myoblasts is poorly understood.

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 ...

Differentiation capacities of PS-clusters, adult pituitary stem/progenitor cell clusters located in the parenchymal-niche, of the rat anterior lobe. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 Pituitary endocrine cells are supplied by Sox2-expressing stem/progenitor cells in the anterior lobe of the adult pituitary. In relation to their microenvironment ("niche"), SOX2-positive cells exist in two types of niches; the marginal cell layer-niche ...

Evaluation ecological niche between Platyceps rhodorachis and P. karelini (Serpentes: Colubridae) in Iran [PDF]
Iranian Journal of Animal Biosystematics, 2021 Platyceps rhodorachis (JAN, 1863) and P. karelini (BRANDT, 1838) are both members of the P. rhodorachis complex species, which is widely distributed in Iran and includes many local populations in the country. These two species are molecularly and to some
