Carnivore coexistence in Chicago: niche partitioning of coyotes and red foxes
Mesopredators including coyotes ( Canis latrans ) and red foxes ( Vulpes vulpes ) often co-occur in urban environments, but how niche partitioning...
-
Isotopic niche partitioning in a multi-species assemblage
Multi-species assemblages can help identify key resources in their habitat by evaluating how they are partitioning their resources. Here we used the...
-
Niche partitioning and individual specialisation in resources and space use of sympatric fur seals at their range margin
Ecological theory predicts niche partitioning between high-level predators living in sympatry as a mechanism to minimise the selective pressure of...

Evaluation of heritability partitioning approaches in livestock populations
BackgroundHeritability partitioning approaches estimate the contribution of different functional classes, such as coding or regulatory variants, to...
-
Space partitioning within groups of social coral reef fish
Site-attached fish that form social groups may face a trade-off between the advantages of group living and the disadvantages related to intra-group...

Seasonal dynamics of photosynthetic nitrogen content and partitioning in deciduous forests
Nitrogen allocated to the photosynthetic apparatus and its partitioning into different photosynthetic components is crucial for understanding plant...

Diel niche partitioning of a plant-hummingbird network in the Atlantic forest of Brazil
Niche partitioning is an important mechanism that allows species to coexist. Within mutualistic interaction networks, diel niche partitioning, i.e.,...

Bamboo Plantation Establishment Changes Rainfall Partitioning and Chemistry
The global bamboo area has expanded by almost 50% in the past 30 years. These bamboo stands could impact rainfall partitioning and chemical...
-
A method for partitioning trends in genetic mean and variance to understand breeding practices
BackgroundIn breeding programmes, the observed genetic change is a sum of the contributions of different selection paths represented by groups of...

Niche partitioning association of fungal genera correlated with lower Fusarium and fumonisin-B1 levels in maize
Through partitioning of ecological niches, several fungi are able to coexist on the same host crop. In (partial) absence of niche partitioning,...

Drivers of niche partitioning in a community of mid-trophic level epipelagic species in the North Atlantic
According to the principles of community ecology, sympatric species may suffer a selective pressure to decrease their niche overlap through...

Resource partitioning and amino acid assimilation in a terrestrial geothermal spring
High-temperature geothermal springs host simplified microbial communities; however, the activities of individual microorganisms and their roles in...

Partitioning Milk Constituents
This chapter discusses applications of dialysis, ultrafiltration, ultracentrifugation, milk coagulation reactions and precipitation methods for...

Biomass partitioning of plants under soil pollution stress
Polluted sites are ubiquitous worldwide but how plant partition their biomass between different organs in this context is unclear. Here, we...
-
Anthropogenically driven spatial niche partitioning in a large herbivore assemblage
Understanding how human activity can influence species distributions and spatial niche partitioning between sympatric species is a key area of...
-
Nitrite accumulation and anammox bacterial niche partitioning in Arctic Mid-Ocean Ridge sediments
By consuming ammonium and nitrite, anammox bacteria form an important functional guild in nitrogen cycling in many environments, including marine...

Effect of sowing date on dry matter and nitrogen partitioning and its translocation in winter barley
Understanding the mechanism of dry matter and nitrogen partitioning and its translocation from different plant parts during post-anthesis period on...

Evidence of resource partitioning between fin and sei whales during the twentieth-century whaling period
Investigating resource partitioning of marine predators is essential for understanding coexistence of sympatric species and the functional role they...

Niche partitioning and seasonality may mediate coexistence of piranha species in Amazonian floodplain lakes
Unraveling factors that enable the coexistence of species occupying similar niches is a challenge in Ecology. In the Amazon basin, several piranha...

Interactions between carnivore species: limited spatiotemporal partitioning between apex predator and smaller carnivores in a Mediterranean protected area
BackgroundThere is need of information on ecological interactions that keystone species such as apex predators establish in ecosystems recently...
