Predicting occupancy and abundance by niche position, niche breadth and body size in stream organisms
(2018-01-01)
The regional occupancy and local abundance of species are thought to be strongly correlated to their body size, niche breadth and niche position. The strength of the relationships among these variables can also differ ...
Niche dynamics and potential geographic distribution of Didymosphenia geminata (Lyngbye) M. Schmidt, an invasive freshwater diatom in Southern Chile
(Regional Euro-Asian Biological Invasions Centre, 2014)
© 2014 REABIC. Aquatic invasive species are a major threat to native freshwater ecosystems and cause enormous ecological and economic damage worldwide. Didymosphenia geminata (Lyngbye) M. Schmidt is an emerging invasive ...
Distribution of macroalgae epiphytes and host species from the Cuban marine shelf inferred from ecological modelling
(2021-06-01)
Ecological Niche Modelling (ENM) is a tool widely used in ecology to determine environmental conditions and the potential distribution of species. In this article we assess the potential distribution, tolerance limits and ...
Species niches, not traits, determine abundance and occupancy patterns: A multi-site synthesis
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2019-11-10)
Aim Locally abundant species are usually widespread, and this pattern has been related to properties of the niches and traits of species. However, such explanations fail to account for the potential of traits to determine ...
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 ...
Improved predictions of the geographic distribution of invasive plants using climatic niche models
(Public Library of Science, 2016)
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 ...
The effect of past defaunation on ranges, niches, and future biodiversity forecasts
(2022-01-01)
Humans have reshaped the distribution of biodiversity across the globe, extirpating species from regions otherwise suitable and restricting populations to a subset of their original ranges. Here, we ask if anthropogenic ...
