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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
