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. ...
Isotopic niches support the resource breadth hypothesis
(Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2017)
© 2016 The Authors. Journal of Animal Ecology © 2016 British Ecological SocietyBecause a broad spectrum of resource use allows species to persist in a wide range of habitat types, and thus permits them to occupy large ...
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 ...
Non-congruent fossil and phylogenetic evidence on the evolution of climatic niche in the Gondwana genus Nothofagus
(WILEY-BLACKWELL, 2016)
AimWe used fossil and phylogenetic evidence to reconstruct climatic niche evolution in Nothofagus, a Gondwana genus distributed in tropical and temperate latitudes. To assess whether the modern distribution of the genus ...
Growth and mortality patterns in a thinning canopy of post-hurricane regenerating rain forest in eastern Nicaragua (1990-2005)
(Universidad de Costa Rica, 2010)
Linking geographic demography and niche theory to predict suitable habitats for Eschscholzia californica, an invasive plant of Central Chile
(2016)
One important hypothesis, in relation to the abundance of species, across geographical distributions,
assumes that there are optimal sites (center of distribution) and sub-optimal sites (periphery) for survival
and ...
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 ...
Global invasion of Lantana camara: Has the climatic niche been conserved across continents?
(Public Library of Science, 2014)
©2014 Goncalves et al.Lantana camara, a native plant from tropical America, is considered one of the most harmful invasive species worldwide. Several studies have identified potentially invasible areas under scenarios of ...
Urban exploiters have broader dietary niches than urban avoiders
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2019-04)
Urbanization is currently one of the most pervasive threats to biodiversity worldwide, yet traits permitting birds to exploit urban environments are not fully understood. I used bird traits related to diet (dietary item ...
