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

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