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 ...
Niche construction as a theoretical tool in the ethnographic analysis from a naturalistic perspective
(Scholars.Direct, 2019-10-22)
In this work, we intend to move discussion forward on the heuristic role of the concept of niche construction for the review of the human/environment dichotomy by considering the interaction between biotic and abiotic ...
Niche mismatches can impair our ability to predict potential invasions
(Springer, 2019-08)
The accurate anticipation of potential biological invasions is a crucial step toward the control of invasive species. The method used most commonly to identify areas suitable for biological invasion is the construction of ...
Distribution of the invasive plant Taraxacum officinale at mediterranean altitudinal gradients: using niche models to infer whether cushion plants expand altitudinal range of this species
(2014)
Climatic conditions at higher altitudes pose a barrier to exotic species establishment due to an
increase of the severity of climatic conditions, reducing plant survival and/or reproduction.
However, processes that occur ...
Improved Predictions of the Geographic Distribution of Invasive Plants Using Climatic Niche Models
(Public Library Science, 2016)
Climatic niche models for invasive plants are usually constructed with occurrence records taken from literature and collections. Because these data neither discriminate among life-cycle stages of plants (adult or juvenile) ...
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. ...
