Climatic niche breadths of the Atlantic Forest snakes do not increase with increasing latitude
(Oxford Univ Press, 2021-11-06)
The climatic niche is a central concept for understanding species distribution, with current and past climate interpreted as strong drivers of present and historical-geographical ranges. Our aim is to understand whether ...
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. ...
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 ...
Individual diet specialisation in sparrows is driven by phenotypic plasticity in traits related to trade-offs in animal performance
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2019-01)
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 niches should exhibit greater IS than ...
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 ...
Do cage fish farms promote interference in the trophic niche of wild fish in neotropical reservoir?
(2022-04-01)
Cage fish farming in hydroelectric reservoirs has been reported to promote variations in environmental conditions, which directly interfere with the foraging behavior of wild fish. We have hypothesized that the abundance ...
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 ...
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 ...
Fiddler crab (Crustacea: Ocypodidae) distribution and the relationship between habitat occupancy and mouth appendages
(2017-07-03)
Sediment characteristics, especially grain size, are usually considered the most important variables affecting Uca distribution, mainly due to its close relationship with mouth appendage morphology. The aim of this study ...
Plant intraspecific trait variation correlates positively with species? niche breadth
(2017)
It is assumed that widespread, generalist species have high phenotypic
variation, but we know little about how intraspecific trait variation (ITV)
relates to species abundance and niche breadth. In the temperate
rainforest ...
