The NICHE Coordinator: A key leadership role in the NICHE practice model
Geriatric NursingThis month we focus on the role of the NICHE Coordinator, who leads NICHE program activities to advance the use of evidence-based practices that improve the quality and safety of care delivered to older adults in healthcare delivery settings. We present a new leadership development class for NICHE Coordinators to enhance their overall effectiveness ...

Abstract Impact assessments increasingly rely on models to project the potential impacts of climate change on species distributions. Ecological niche models have become established as an efficient and widely used method for interpolating (and sometimes extrapolating) species’ distributions.

Engineered niches model the onset of metastasis
Nature Biomedical Engineering, 2018A humanized biomaterial microenvironment that mimics the pre-metastatic niche captures disseminated tumour cells and recapitulates metastatic progression after implantation in xenografted mice.

The models of niche and their application
Ecological Modelling, 1995Abstract Having studied the definitions of niche proposed by different ecologists, I have proposed a quantitative method of niche which can be applied to plants. Accordingly, the niche of an operational taxonomic unit (OTU) has been described by a mapping from its environmental set to the unit interval [0, 1], which enables a model of niche to be ...

Ditch the niche – is the niche a useful concept in ecology or species distribution modelling?
Journal of Biogeography, 2012AbstractIn this first of three papers we examine the use of niche concepts in ecology and especially in species distribution modelling (SDM). This paper deliberately focuses on the lack of clarity found in the term ‘niche’. Because its meanings are so diverse, the term niche tends to create confusion and requires constant qualification.

This chapter explains how environmental data can be used to create models that characterize species’ ecological niches in environmental space. It introduces a model, which is a function constructed by means of data analysis for the purpose of approximating the true relationship (that is, the niche) in the form of the function f linking the environment ...

Cognitive niches: An ecological model of strategy selection.
Psychological Review, 2011How do people select among different strategies to accomplish a given task? Across disciplines, the strategy selection problem represents a major challenge. We propose a quantitative model that predicts how selection emerges through the interplay among strategies, cognitive capacities, and the environment.

Representing Ecological Niches in a Conceptual Model
2004The niche concept has been recognised as a fundamental notion in biological and business systems, amongst others. Existing data models do not have adequate primitives that faithfully represent ecological niches for geographical information systems.

The construction of the cultural niche: A biocultural model
American Journal of Human Biology, 2019AbstractObjectivesObjective of the study is to develop a more precise model of culture as an evolutionary niche for the human species. Culture is encoded in cultural models and can be decomposed into three basic components: shared knowledge and understanding, referred to as cultural competence; alternate configurations of shared understanding, referred

We present some additions to a fuzzy variable radius niche technique called Dynamic Niche Clustering (DNC) (Gan and Warwick, 1999; 2000; 2001) that enable the identification and creation of niches of arbitrary shape through a mechanism called Niche Linkage. We show that by using this mechanism it is possible to attain better feature extraction from the
