A spatially explicit model for competition among specialists and generalists in a heterogeneous environment [PDF]
, 2006 Competition is a major force in structuring ecological communities. The strength of competition can be measured using the concept of a niche. A niche comprises the set of requirements of an organism in terms of habitat, environment and functional role ...

Niche Overlap and Diffuse Competition [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1974 Current theory predicts a distinct upper limit on the permissible degree of niche overlap; moreover, theory suggests that maximal tolerable overlap should be relatively insensitive to environmental variability. Data presented here demonstrate that, within the lizard subset of natural desert communities, niche overlap decreases both with increasing ...

Structural Network Properties of Niche-Overlap Graphs [PDF]
2013 International Conference on Signal-Image Technology & Internet-Based Systems, 2013 The structure of networks has always been interesting for researchers. Investigating their unique architecture allows to capture insights and to understand the function and evolution of these complex systems. Ecological networks such as food-webs and niche-overlap graphs are considered as complex systems. The main purpose of this work is to compare the

Population Dynamics on Complex Food Webs [PDF]
, 2011 In this work we analyse the topological and dynamical properties of a simple model of complex food webs, namely the niche model. In order to underline competition among species, we introduce "prey" and "predators" weighted overlap graphs derived from the

Genotype-environment associations support a mosaic hybrid zone between two tidal marsh birds [PDF]
, 2015 Local environmental features can shape hybrid zone dynamics when hybrids are bounded by ecotones or when patchily distributed habitat types lead to a corresponding mosaic of genotypes.

Peri‐urban systems alter trophic niche size and overlap in sympatric coastal bird species
Ecosphere, 2023 Urban habitats can create empty trophic niche space by providing abundant alternative dietary resources, allowing some generalist species to either shift or expand their trophic niches.

Spatio-Temporal Niches of Main Fish Species in the Mangrove Creeks of the Nanliujiang River Estuary
Redai dili, 2023 Mangroves are one of the most important wetland ecosystems. The development of fisheries in tropical and subtropical bays or estuaries is closely associated with mangroves since the high heterogeneity of the mangrove ecosystem provides a suitable habitat

Ecology and co-existence of two endemic day gecko (Phelsuma) species in Seychelles native palm forest [PDF]
, 2011 In island ecosystems, reptiles play diverse ecological roles as a result of niche broadening, which increases potential niche overlap between species. Ecological niche partitioning is a means of reducing direct competition between coexisting species and ...

Jurnal Ilmu Komunikasi, 2013 : This article describes the radio competition in Yogyakarta at 2005. The radio competition was measured by using niche theory and as an unit of analysis is radio program. Niche theory was applied by measuring niche breadth and niche overlap.
