Divergence Across Niche Dimensions Reveals Species' Ecological Roles. [PDF]
Ecol LettNatural history gaps hinder our understanding of species' ecological roles and their contributions to ecosystem processes. Using an integrative framework, we analysed multiple niche dimensions of co‐occurring xenarthran insectivores, revealing divergent trophic, spatial and temporal patterns that reflect distinct ecological roles. Our results challenge
