The dimensionality of individual niche variation
(2018-03-01)
The inherently multidimensional nature of the niche has not yet been integrated into the investigation of individual niche specialization within populations. We propose a framework for modeling the between- and within-individual ...
Isotopic niches support the resource breadth hypothesis
(Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2017)
© 2016 The Authors. Journal of Animal Ecology © 2016 British Ecological SocietyBecause a broad spectrum of resource use allows species to persist in a wide range of habitat types, and thus permits them to occupy large ...
Changing Only Slowly: The Role of Phylogenetic Niche Conservatism in Caviidae (Rodentia) Speciation
(Springer, 2020-04)
The dynamics of species diversification have attracted significant scientific attention in recent decades. Many lineages tend tomaintain their niche characteristics over evolutionary time, a phenomenon known as phylogenetic ...
Niche conservatism in a plant with long invasion history: the case of the Peruvian peppertree (Schinus molle, Anacardiaceae) in Mexico
(Royal Botanical Society of Belgium, 2020)
Background and aim - Invasive plants should only colonize habitats meeting the environmental conditions included in their native niches. However, if they invade habitats with novel environmental conditions, this can induce ...
Climatic niche evolution in the Andean genus Menonvillea (Cremolobeae: Brassicaceae)
(Springer Heidelberg, 2017-03)
The study of how climatic niches change over evolutionary time has recently attracted the interest of many researchers. Different methodologies have been employed principally to analyze the temporal dynamics of the niche ...
Phylogeny, evolution and ecological speciation analyses of Imperata (Poaceae: Andropogoneae) in the Neotropics
(Cambridge University Press, 2021-03)
Imperata is a ubiquitous grass genus of the tribe Andropogoneae (Poaceae), distributed throughout the world. Previous systematic studies had established that the genus encompasses nine species although no phylogenetic ...

Beyonf Darwin: On the role of niche construction and self-organization in evolution
(2009)
In this essay I point out to two processes that can potentially complement the classical view of evolution by natural selection as outlined by Darwin, which captures only part of the processes driving adaptive evolution. ...
