Niche overlap analyses.

open access: yes, 2015
Pairwise niche overlap values using the metric D [57], corresponding overlap classification according to Rödder & Engler [58] and P-values of niche similarity and equivalence via randomization test.

Global Patterns and Drivers of Climatic Niche Originality and Overlap: Disentangling Ecological From Methodological Signals

open access: yesEcology and Evolution
Niche overlap is widely used to study species coexistence and biodiversity patterns. However, because macroclimatic niches are typically estimated from species distributions, relationships between niche overlap and geographic range overlap may partly ...

At home in the tropics: seasonal niche-tracking by the Yellow-green Vireo, Vireo flavoviridis, an intratropical migrant

open access: yesRevista Mexicana de Biodiversidad, 2023
Migratory birds move geographically by tracking specific climatic conditions through time. However, we lack information about the climatic conditions birds are tracking, especially in intratropical migrants, whose movements are contained inside the ...

Liver organoids: modelling complexity in homeostasis and disease

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Studying liver in vitro has been challenging because simple 2D cell cultures fail to capture liver's cellular and architectural complexity. To bridge this gap, scientists increasingly use organoids, 3D liver models which better mimic liver composition and function. This review examines recent advances in liver organoid complexity and realism, discusses

Metastasis on pause: How dormant tumor cells stay hidden within the tumor microenvironment and evade immune surveillance

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Dormant cancer cells can hide in distant organs for years, evading treatment and the immune system. This review highlights how signals from the surrounding tissue and immune environment keep these cells inactive or trigger their reawakening. Understanding these mechanisms may help develop therapies to eliminate or control dormant cells and prevent ...

Randomization procedure for niche overlap

open access: yes, 2016
To investigate possible competition between D. ordii and P. flavescens at Salt Valley, we calculated the observed niche overlap for all species–time period combinations.

Ecological Niche and Interspecific Association of Plant Communities in Alpine Desertification Grasslands: A Case Study of Qinghai Lake Basin

open access: yesPlants, 2022
The study of niche and interspecific relationships is one of the classical ecological theories. We set up four desertification gradients. The “Levins” and “Pianka” method were used to calculate the species’ niche breadth and niche overlap.

Extracellular vesicle lipidomics liquid biopsy reveals systemic and tumor microenvironment metabolic reprogramming in ovarian cancer

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Extracellular vesicle (EV) lipidomic profiling of plasma and ascites from patients with high‐grade serous ovarian cancer and of ovarian cancer cell lines reveals enrichment of triglycerides (TGs), diacylglycerols (DGs), phosphatidylcholine (PCs), sphingomyelins (SMs), reflecting tumor metabolic reprogramming.

Climatic niche comparison across a cryptic species complex [PDF]

open access: yesPeerJ, 2019
According to current molecular evidence, the Chionaspis pinifoliae heterophyllae species complex has been recognized as 10 cryptic species. In this study, we construct potential distribution maps for seven cryptic species based on climatic variables ...

The α-minimum convex polygon as a relevant tool for isotopic niche statistics

open access: yesEcological Indicators, 2021
Ecological (isotopic) niche refers to a surface in a two-dimensional space, where the axes correspond to environmental variables that reflect values of stable isotopes incorporated in an animal's tissues.
