Multispecies Niche Overlap: Moving Beyond Pairwise Metrics to Understand Community‐Wide Similarities in Resource Use [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionMeasures of niche overlap—particularly in terms of resource use—are important tools in a wide range of ecological and evolutionary studies. A variety of these overlap indices are used, but all are pairwise measures. Yet, most communities are more complex,

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.

Niche characteristics of lichen in Dabancheng mountainous area, Urumqi
Guangxi Zhiwu, 2023 In order to reveal the status of habitat resource utilization and the degree of competition among lichens in Dabancheng mountainous areas. In this work, 30 plots were sampled in the field and the species cover data of the plots were investigated, and the

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

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 ...

Effect of imperfect detection on the estimation of niche overlap between two forest dormice
iForest - Biogeosciences and Forestry, 2018 Quantification of niche overlap represents an important topic in several aspects of ecology and conservation biology, although it could be potentially affected by imperfect detection, i.e., failure to detect a species at occupied sites.
