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 ...
A classification system for predicting invasiveness using climatic niche traits and global distribution models: application to alien plant species in Chile
(Pensoft, 2020)
Functional traits that predict plant invasiveness are a central issue in invasion ecology. However, in many cases they are difficult to determine, especially for a large set of species. Climatic niche traits can overcome ...
Testing the niche variation hypothesis in a community of passerine birds
(Ecological Society of America, 2017)
The niche variation hypothesis (NVH) predicts that populations with broader niches should exhibit greater between- individual diet variation or individual specialization (IS) relative to populations with narrower niches. ...
Individual diet specialisation in sparrows is driven by phenotypic plasticity in traits related to trade-offs in animal performance
(Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2019)
© 2018 John Wiley & Sons Ltd/CNRS Individual diet specialisation (IS) is frequent in many animal taxa and affects population and community dynamics. The niche variation hypothesis (NVH) predicts that broader population ...
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 ...
Matching global and regional distribution models of the recluse spider Loxosceles rufescens: to what extent do these reflect niche conservatism?
(Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2018)
© 2018 The Royal Entomological Society The Mediterranean recluse spider, Loxosceles rufescens (Dufour, 1820) (Araneae: Sicariidae) is a cosmopolitan spider that has been introduced in many parts of the world. Its bite can ...
Dietary and isotopic specialization: The isotopic niche of three cinclodes ovenbirds
(2009)
By comparing the isotopic composition of tissues deposited at different times, we can identify individuals that shift diets over time and individuals with constant diets. We define an individual as an isotopic specialist ...
Change of niche in guanaco (Lama guanicoe): the effects of climate change on habitat suitability and lineage conservatism in Chile
(PEERJ, 2018)
Background: The main goal of this contribution was to define the ecological niche of the guanaco (Lama guanicoe), to describe potential distributional changes, and to assess the relative importance of niche conservatism ...
Geographical distribution and ecological niche modeling of the etiological agents of human sporotrichosis in Venezuela
(Springer, 2020)
The geographical distribution and ecological niche of the two circulating species of the Sporothrix genus in Venezuela was established. For this, 68 isolates of Sporothrix spp. from patients of different regions of the ...
