Diversification mechanisms in the Andean grasshopper genus Orotettix (Orthoptera: Acrididae): Ecological niches and evolutionary history
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2018-03)
The Andes harbour an outstanding taxonomic and ecological diversity, for which several mechanisms promoting diversification, including ecological gradients and allopatric speciation, have been cited. The grasshopper genus ...

Distribution, spatial interaction and niche analysis in three species of European moles (genus Talpa, Soricomorpha: Mammalia) in Italy
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2017-12)
We investigated the spatial relationships among three phylogenetically related and ecologically convergent moles in Italy: Talpa europaea, Talpa romana and Talpa caeca. The spatial niche of each species was described through ...
Seasonal population and individual niche dynamics in a tetra fish in the Pantanal wetlands
(2017-07-01)
In seasonal tropical regions, rainfall and/or temporary floods during the wet season generally increase the abundance and diversity of food resources to many consumers as compared to the dry season. Therefore, seasonality ...
Staying ahead of invaders: using species distribution modeling to predict alien species’ potential niche shifts
(Inter-Research, 2019-03)
Early detection and rapid response are essential to prevent invasive species from thriving in marine environments following their introduction. Species distribution models (SDMs) are widely used to predict the potential ...
A reference business process for ecological niche modelling
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2008)
Ecological niche modelling combines species occurrence points with environmental raster layers in order to obtain models for describing the probabilistic distribution of species. The process to generate an ecological niche ...
Understanding the ecological niche to elucidate spatial strategies of the the southernmost Tupinambis
(Brill Academic Publishers, 2013-06)
Understanding factors that shape ranges of species is central in evolutionary biology. Species distribution models have become important tools to test biogeographical, ecological and evolutionary hypotheses. Moreover, from ...
Competition and resource breadth shape niche variation and overlap in multiple trophic dimensions
(2019-05-15)
Competition plays a central role in the maintenance of biodiversity. A backbone of classic niche theory is that local coexistence of competitors is favoured by the contraction or divergence of species' niches. However, ...
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 ...
