Food Niche Overlap of Avian Predators (Falconiformes, Strigiformes) in a Field and Forest Mosaic in Central Poland [PDF]
Animals, 2021 Food niche overlap statistics are a common way to show competition for food resources in a group of animals. Niche breadths of various species are very variable and their diet composition changes reflecting prey availability. The aim of this study was to

Niche overlap across landscape variability in summer between two large herbivores using eDNA metabarcoding. [PDF]
PLoS ONEUnderstanding the relationship between a species feeding strategy and its environment (trophic ecology) is critical to assess environmental requirements and improve management policies. However, measuring trophic interactions remains challenging.

Trophic niche overlap between sympatric harbour seals (Phoca vitulina) and grey seals (Halichoerus grypus) at the southern limit of their European range (Eastern English Channel) [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Sympatric harbour (Phoca vitulina) and grey seals (Halichoerus grypus) are increasingly considered potential competitors, especially since recent local declines in harbour seal numbers while grey seal numbers remained stable or increased at their ...

Isotope niche dimension and trophic overlap between bigheaded carps and native filter-feeding fish in the lower Missouri River, USA. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 Stable carbon and nitrogen isotope values (δ13C and δ15N) were used to evaluate trophic niche overlap between two filter-feeding fishes (known together as bigheaded carp) native to China, silver carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix) and bighead carp ...

Measures of Niche Overlap, II [PDF]
Mathematical Medicine and Biology, 1986 In part I, see the preceding review, Zbl 0633.92017, a number of properties that a reasonable measure of overlap might be expected to possess are proposed in the form of axioms, and their motivations and consequences are also discussed from a biological viewpoint.

Measures of Niche Overlap, I [PDF]
Mathematical Medicine and Biology, 1986 Many methods of measuring niche overlap have been proposed by several authors, e.g. \textit{O. Renkonen} [Ann. Zool. Soc. Zool. Bot. Fenn Venano 6, 1-231 (1938)], \textit{M. Morisita} [Mem. Fac. Kyushu, Univ. Ser. E 3, 65-80 (1959)] and \textit{H. Horn} [Am. Nat. 100, 419-424 (1966)])].
