The relationship between niche breadth and geographic range size in African Horseshoe bats (Rhinolophidae, Chiroptera) [PDF]
, 2011 According to Brown's hypothesis, generalists have high niche breadth and can tolerate a wide variety of environmental conditions resulting in large geographic range sizes. Conversely, specialists have low niche breadth and small range sizes.

Trophic position structures physiological trade-offs between metabolic and detoxification pathways in sympatric passerinesTrophic position structures physiological trade-offs between metabolic and detoxification pathways in sympatric passerines [PDF]
Royal Society Open ScienceResource use links ecological context to organismal performance, yet whether dietary breadth or trophic position is more closely associated with physiological state in wild birds remains unclear.

Is the relationship between body size and trophic niche position time-invariant in a predatory fish? First stable isotope evidence. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2010 Characterizing relationships between individual body size and trophic niche position is essential for understanding how population and food-web dynamics are mediated by size-dependent trophic interactions.

Invasion success of a global avian invader is explained by within-taxon niche structure and association with humans in the native range [PDF]
, 2015 Aim To mitigate the threat invasive species pose to ecosystem functioning, reli- able risk assessment is paramount. Spatially explicit predictions of invasion risk obtained through bioclimatic envelope models calibrated with native species distribution ...

The Role of Pleiotropy in the Evolutionary Maintenance of Positive Niche Construction
The American Naturalist, 2018 Organisms often modify their environments to their advantage through a process of niche construction. Environments that are improved through positive niche construction can be viewed as a public good. If free riders appear that do not contribute to the shared resource and therefore do not incur any associated costs, the constructed niche may become ...
