Determining trophic niche width: a novel approach using stable isotope analysis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
1. Although conceptually robust, it has proven difficult to find practical measures of niche width that are simple to obtain, yet provide an adequate descriptor of the ecological position of the population examined. 2.

Interspecies trophic niche differences and spatial–temporal adaptations found in Cultrinae fishes

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023
It has been debated whether interspecies niche differences may follow niche conservatism, whether niches are becoming specialists, whether generalists and specialists are maintained in a balance, and how the realized niche may adapt to local or temporal ...

Trophic ecology of Acestrorhynchus falcirostris Cuvier, 1819 in island lakes on the lower stretch of the Solimões River, Amazon Basin

open access: yesBrazilian Journal of Biology, 2022
The aim objective of this study was to determine the trophic ecology of juvenile and adult Acestrorhynchus falcirostris during the rising and flood (high-water) period in six island lakes adjacent to the Solimões River.

Niche Position and Niche Breadth Effects on Population Abundances: A Case Study of New World Warblers (Parulidae)

open access: yes, 2023
In this study, we investigated the influence of niche position and breadth on the abundance of 47 species of birds belonging to the Parulidae family, commonly known as New World Warblers.

Estimates of niche position and breadth vary across spatial scales for native and alien inland fishes

open access: yes, 2023
We estimate and compare niche position, marginality and breadth of Iberian inland fishes at three geographical extents (regional, restricted to the species’ range and global) to understand the effect of spatial scale on niche metrics.

Niche position drives interspecific variation in occupancy and abundance in a highly-connected lake system [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
We examined how niche position, niche breadth, biological traits and taxonomic relatedness affect interspecific variation in occupancy and abundance of two commonly-used biological indicator groups, i.e. diatoms and macroinvertebrates.

Principles of niche expansion

open access: yes, 2018
Niche expansion is attained by adaptations in two generalized phenotypical traits - niche position and niche width. This gives room for a wide range of conceptual ways of niche filling.

Languages adapt to their contextual niche [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
It is well established that context plays a fundamental role in how we learn and use language. Here we explore how context links short-term language use with the long-term emergence of different types of language system.

Data from: Estimates of niche position and breadth vary across spatial scales for native and alien inland fishes

open access: yes, 2022
   Estimates of species’ niche position and breadth is considered fundamental to understanding their ecological and evolutionary responses to natural and anthropogenic environmental change.
