Ecological Barriers for an Amphibian Pathogen: A Narrow Ecological Niche for Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans in an Asian Chytrid Hotspot

open access: yesJournal of Fungi, 2023
The chytrid fungal pathogens Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans (Bsal) and B. dendrobatidis (Bd) are driving amphibian extinctions and population declines worldwide.

Contribution of the public to the modelling of the distributions of species: Occurrence and current and potential distribution of the ant Manica rubida (Hymenoptera: Formicidae)

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Entomology, 2023
Maps and models of the distributions of animals and plants are important for assessing their current and future status. Such models rely on information on the environment and occurrence of species.

Analysis of gaps in rapeseed (Brassica napus L.) collections in European genebanks

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2023
Rapeseed is one of the most important agricultural crops and is used in many ways. Due to the advancing climate crisis, the yield potential of rapeseed is increasingly impaired.

Non-Native Decapods in South America: Risk Assessment and Potential Impacts

open access: yesDiversity, 2023
Biological invasions pose significant challenges in the Anthropocene, impacting ecosystem biodiversity and functioning. Ecological Niche Modeling is widely used to evaluate potential areas at risk of invasions, aiding in the prevention of invasive ...

Putative source and niche shift pattern of a new alien ant species (Odontomachus troglodytes) in Taiwan [PDF]

open access: yesPeerJ, 2023
Alien species may pose substantial impacts on biodiversity around the globe through international trade and travel. A niche shift hypothesis was proposed to explain the adaptive change of alien or invasive species in new habitats.

Parallel diversifications of Cremastosperma and Mosannona (Annonaceae), tropical rainforest trees tracking Neogene upheaval of South America [PDF]

open access: yesRoyal Society Open Science, 2018
Much of the immense present day biological diversity of Neotropical rainforests originated from the Miocene onwards, a period of geological and ecological upheaval in South America.

To what degree are philosophy and the ecological niche concept necessary in the ecological theory and conservation? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Ecology as a field produces philosophical anxiety, largely because it differs in scientific structure from classical  physics. The hypothetical deductive models of classical physics are simple and predictive; general ecological models are ...

Modeling renal progenitors – defining the niche [PDF]

open access: yesDifferentiation, 2016
Significant recent advances in methodologies for the differentiation of pluripotent stem cells to renal progenitors as well as the definition of niche conditions for sustaining those progenitors have dramatically enhanced our understanding of their biology and developmental programing, prerequisites for establishing viable approaches to renal ...

Invasion success of a global avian invader is explained by within-taxon niche structure and association with humans in the native range [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Aim To mitigate the threat invasive species pose to ecosystem functioning, reli- able risk assessment is paramount. Spatially explicit predictions of invasion risk obtained through bioclimatic envelope models calibrated with native species distribution ...
