Population niche width is driven by within-individual niche expansion and individual specialization in introduced brook trout in mountain lakes
The width of a population's resource-use niche is determined by individual diet breadth (“within-individual component”) and the degree of niche...

Seasonal variations of the trophic niche width of Hemimysis anomala in Lake Geneva
The trophic niche of invasive species can vary overtime because of different processes related to ecological opportunity and invader activity that...

Niche-DE: niche-differential gene expression analysis in spatial transcriptomics data identifies context-dependent cell-cell interactions
Existing methods for analysis of spatial transcriptomic data focus on delineating the global gene expression variations of cell types across the...

No evidence for niche competition in the extinction of the South American saber-tooth species
The end of South American isolation during the Great American Biotic Interchange (GABI) promoted the contact between South and North American...

Trophic niche variation and overlap between invasive mrigal carp and native mud carp in southern China
The ecological impacts of freshwater invasive fishes can develop through interspecific competition where they share similar resources to native...
-
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...

From Spatial Distribution to Ecological Niche: Modeling Issues within the Correlation Approach
Abstract —One of the most important tasks in the modern theory of ecology is the formalization of the ecological niche. Advances in spatial analysis...

Niche partitioning among odontocetes in a marine biogeographic transition zone of the western South Atlantic Ocean
Toothed cetaceans represent a diverse and important component in poorly studied pelagic food webs. We used the variation in δ 13 C and δ 15 N values in...

Trophic niche diversity and redundancy across trophic positions in a subtropical river fish assemblage
Understanding consumer–resource interactions is essential for understanding the trophic dynamics of species-rich fish communities. Woodland et al....

Dietary and niche analyses of four sympatric batoid species of the subtropical South Atlantic Ocean
We aimed to characterize the trophic ecology and test the hypothesis of niche overlap between four sympatric batoid species of the subtropical South...
-
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...

Unexpected coexistence of a native and an invasive macrophyte: a functional versus environmental niche perspective
In this study, we aimed at investigating the mechanisms underlying the coexistence of a native and an invasive macrophyte ( Egeria najas and Hydrilla...

Differences in spatial niche of terrestrial mammals when facing extreme snowfall: the case in east Asian forests
BackgroundRecent climate changes have produced extreme climate events. This study focused on extreme snowfall and intended to discuss the...

Niche differentiation and biogeography of Bathyarchaeia in paddy soil ecosystems: a case study in eastern China
Bathyarchaeia (formerly Bathyarchaeota ) is a group of highly abundant archaeal communities that play important roles in global biogeochemical...

How the morphology of two closely related riverine sympatric species are reflected in ecological niche overlap**? A case study of two Capoeta species
This study investigated morphological differences, habitat preference, and ecological niche overlap in two sympatric Capoeta species i.e., Capoeta....

Isotopic niche partitioning and individual specialization in an Arctic raptor guild
Intra- and inter-specific resource partitioning within predator communities is a fundamental component of trophic ecology, and one proposed mechanism...

Individuals matter more than replicates: distribution of sampling effort in isotopic niche estimation
The number of individuals to be sampled is a key element in the sampling design of any study as it directly affects the estimations and inferences...

Seasonal variability in the isotopic niche of the invasive channel catfish Ictalurus punctatus in Japan
The global threat posed by non-native species to biodiversity and freshwater ecosystems necessitates understanding their ecological impacts. The...

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...

Ecological niche modeling, niche overlap, and good old Rabinowitz’s rarities applied to the conservation of gymnosperms in a global biodiversity hotspot
ContextBiodiversity hotspots harbor 77% of endemic plant species. Patagonian Temperate Forest (PTF) is a part of a biodiversity hotspot, but over the...
