Niche position and niche breadth effects on population abundances: A case study of New World Warblers (Parulidae) [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionSpecies abundance patterns are influenced by a myriad of factors, including habitat availability and ecological niche characteristics. However, the evidence concerning the specific impact factors such as niche position and niche breadth on mean and ...

rTPI: An R Package for Calculating Thermal and Aridity Position Indices for Terrestrial Vertebrates [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionSpecies environmental niche limits provide useful information for generating estimates of species niche position. Recent work investigating species' responses to climate change has shown that models that included metrics of species‐specific thermal and ...

Spatial Patterns of Variation in Climatic Niche Breadths in Agamid Lizards [PDF]
AnimalsClimatic niche breadth is defined as the range of climatic conditions (e.g., temperature and precipitation) under which a species occurs. However, the relationship between niche breadth variation and climatic factors remains poorly studied, and existing ...

Climatic niche properties shape treefrog diversity. [PDF]
PLoS ONEA suite of ecological hypotheses has been proposed to explain why more species are found in the tropics. Most of these hypotheses consider the geography of climate as a major determinant of richness, while ignoring the relationships between organisms and

Ecological Indicator Values for Europe (EIVE) 1.0 [PDF]
Vegetation Classification and Survey (VCS), 2023 Aims: To develop a consistent ecological indicator value system for Europe for five of the main plant niche dimensions: soil moisture (M), soil nitrogen (N), soil reaction (R), light (L) and temperature (T).

A classification system for predicting invasiveness using climatic niche traits and global distribution models: application to alien plant species in Chile [PDF]
NeoBiota, 2020 Functional traits that predict plant invasiveness are a central issue in invasion ecology. However, in many cases they are difficult to determine, especially for a large set of species.
