Niche partitioning among dead wood-dependent beetles [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2021 Niche partitioning among species with virtually the same requirements is a fundamental concept in ecology. Nevertheless, some authors suggest that niches have little involvement in structuring communities.

Foraging niche partitioning in sympatric seabird populations [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2021 Sympatric species must sufficiently differentiate aspects of their ecological niche to alleviate complete interspecific competition and stably coexist within the same area. Seabirds provide a unique opportunity to understand patterns of niche segregation

Dynamic trait-niche relationships shape niche partitioning across habitat transformation gradients
Basic and Applied Ecology, 2022 Multidimensional approaches examining complex trait-niche relationships are crucial to understand community assembly. This is particularly important across habitat transformation gradients because specialists are progressively substituted by generalists ...

Niche partitioning among sexual and unisexual Ambystoma salamanders
Ecosphere, 2016 Organisms that have ecologically similar sexual and asexual forms present an evolutionary puzzle, as theory predicts that eventually one form should eliminate the other.

Residence Time Structures Microbial Communities Through Niche Partitioning. [PDF]
Ecol LettABSTRACT Much of life on Earth is at the mercy of currents and flow. Residence time ( τ ) estimates how long organisms and resources remain in a system based on the ratio of volume ( V ) to flow rate ( Q

Scientific Reports, 2022 Temporal and spatio-temporal niche partitioning is an important strategy for carnivore coexistence. Camera-trap data has been analyzed through several methods to assess the temporal and spatio-temporal niche partitioning.

Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Ecological theory suggests that the coexistence of species is promoted by the partitioning of available resources, as in dietary niche partitioning where predators partition prey.

Energetic efficiency of foraging mediates bee niche partitioning [PDF]
Ecology, 2021 AbstractRevitalizing our understanding of species distributions and assembly in community ecology requires greater use of functional (physiological) approaches based on quantifiable factors such as energetics. Here, we explore niche partitioning between bumble and honey bees by comparing a measure of within‐patch foraging efficiency, the ratio of ...

Exometabolite niche partitioning among sympatric soil bacteria [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2015 AbstractSoils are arguably the most microbially diverse ecosystems. Physicochemical properties have been associated with the maintenance of this diversity. Yet, the role of microbial substrate specialization is largely unexplored since substrate utilization studies have focused on simple substrates, not the complex mixtures representative of the soil ...

Eleutherodactylus frogs show frequency but no temporal partitioning: implications for the acoustic niche hypothesis [PDF]
PeerJ, 2014 Individuals in acoustic communities compete for the use of the sound resource for communication, a problem that can be studied as niche competition. The acoustic niche hypothesis presents a way to study the partitioning of the resource, but the studies ...
