Spatio-temporal ecology of sympatric felids on Borneo. Evidence for resource partitioning? [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2018
Niche differentiation, the partitioning of resources along one or more axes of a species' niche hyper-volume, is widely recognised as an important mechanism for sympatric species to reduce interspecific competition and predation risk, and thus facilitate

Not all jellyfish are equal: isotopic evidence for inter- and intraspecific variation in jellyfish trophic ecology [PDF]

, 2015
Jellyfish are highly topical within studies of pelagic food-webs and there is a growing realisation that their role is more complex than once thought.

Design principles for riboswitch function [PDF]

, 2009
Scientific and technological advances that enable the tuning of integrated regulatory components to match network and system requirements are critical to reliably control the function of biological systems. RNA provides a promising building block for the

Plants partition the pollinator niche by depositing pollen on different parts of the pollinator body.

PLoS ONE
Niche partitioning of pollinators promotes the maintenance of high plant diversity in tropical environments. The role of animal pollinators in this partitioning has been evaluated predominantly at individual and species levels.

Historical niche partitioning and long‐term trophic shifts in Laurentian Great Lakes deepwater coregonines

Ecosphere, 2018
Over the last 100 yr, anthropogenic stressors have decimated the assemblage of deepwater coregonines that once underpinned the food webs of the Laurentian Great Lakes.

Intersexual trophic niche partitioning in an ant-eating spider (Araneae: Zodariidae). [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2011
Divergence in trophic niche between the sexes may function to reduce competition between the sexes ("intersexual niche partitioning hypothesis"), or may be result from differential selection among the sexes on maximizing reproductive output ("sexual ...

Integrating Species Traits into Species Pools [PDF]

, 2018
Despite decades of research on the species‐pool concept and the recent explosion of interest in trait‐based frameworks in ecology and biogeography, surprisingly little is known about how spatial and temporal changes in species‐pool functional diversity ...

By dawn or dusk—how circadian timing rewrites bacterial infection outcomes

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The circadian clock shapes immune function, yet its influence on infection outcomes is only beginning to be understood. This review highlights how circadian timing alters host responses to the bacterial pathogens Salmonella enterica, Listeria monocytogenes, and Streptococcus pneumoniae revealing that the effectiveness of immune defense depends not only

Coexistence mechanisms and individual trophic niche variation between functionally analogous non-native and native carp species

Scientific Reports
Understanding the mechanisms that promote coexistence between functionally analogous non-native and native species that share similar prey is important for predicting the ecological consequences of their competitive interactions.
