Large scale field-based evaluation of niche breadth, niche overlap and interspecific association of Western Himalayan temperate forest tree species

open access: yesEcological Indicators, 2023
Understanding niche and its parameters including niche breadth and niche overlap hold promise in discerning the needs, tolerances of organisms and also the extent of niche overlap among the sympatric species.

Niche divergence and limits to expansion in the high polyploid Dianthus broteri complex [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Niche evolution in plant polyploids remains controversial and evidence for alternative patterns has been reported. Using the autopolyploid Dianthus broteri complex (2×, 4×, 6× and 12×) as a model, we aimed to integrate three scenarios – competitive ...

Retracted: Niches of nine mangrove species in a Sonneratia apetala‐colonized area of Dongzhai Harbor, Hainan Island, China

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2020
The distribution of mangroves is influenced by the environment. We aimed to understand the ecological adaptability of various mangrove species within the range of the exotic species, Sonneratia apetala Buch.‐Ham., in Dongzhai Harbor, Hainan Island, China.

Effect of imperfect detection on the estimation of niche overlap between two forest dormice

open access: yesiForest - 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.

The role of geography, environment, and genetic divergence on the distribution of pikas in the Himalaya

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2020
Pikas (Ochotona Link, 1795) are high‐altitude specialist species making them a useful bioindicator species to warming in high‐altitude ecosystem. The Himalayan Mountains are an important part of their range, supporting approximately 23%–25% of total pika

Belowground nitrogen partitioning in experimental grassland plant communities of varying species richness [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Partitioning of soil nitrogen (N) by niche separation among species may be an important mechanism explaining species coexistence and positive biodiversity–productivity relationships in terrestrial plant communities. However, there is little experimental
