Variação individual de nicho em espécies que coexistem
(Universidade Estadual Paulista (Unesp), 2018-12-06)
Esta tese gravita em torno da ideia de que indivíduos de uma mesma espécie são ecologicamente diferentes. Apesar de esse fato não parecer surpreendente, a teoria ecológica tem historicamente negligenciado a variação ...
Persist or Produce: A Community Trade-Off Tuned by Species Evenness
(University of Chicago Press, 2016-10)
Understanding the effects of biodiversity on community persistence and productivity is key to managing both natural and production systems. Because rare species face greater danger of extinction, species evenness, a measure ...
Network analysis reveals contrasting effects of intraspecific competition on individual vs. population diets
(Ecological Soc AmerWashingtonEUA, 2008)
Niche partitioning and coexistence of two spiders of the genus Peucetia (Araneae, Oxyopidae) inhabiting Trichogoniopsis adenantha plants (Asterales, Asteraceae)
(Public Library Science, 2019-10-02)
Niche theory suggests that the coexistence of ecologically similar species in the same site requires some form of resource partitioning that reduces or avoids interspecific competition. Here, from July 2013 to December ...
Towards an integrated science of aesthetics: Getting rid of the main misunderstandings in evolutionary aesthetics
(Universidade Federal de Santa Maria, 2019)
Drivers of individual niche variation in coexisting species
(2018-09-01)
Although neglected by classic niche theory, individual variation is now recognized as a prevalent phenomenon in nature with evolutionary and ecological relevance. Recent theory suggests that differences in individual ...
Effect of population density on diet composition and dietary niche breadth of guanaco (Lama guanicoe, Müller 1776) in northeastern Patagonian steppes
(Academic Press Ltd - Elsevier Science Ltd, 2019-10)
The optimal foraging theory postulates that as animal population density increases, the progressive decline in preferred forage availability results in changes in diet composition and widening of dietary niche breadth. For ...
Evolutionary responses to a constructed niche: Ancient mesoamericans as a model of gene-culture coevolution
(Public Library of Science, 2012-06)
Culture and genetics rely on two distinct but not isolated transmission systems. Cultural processes may change the human selective environment and thereby affect which individuals survive and reproduce. Here, we evaluated ...
Functional traits shape small mammal-helminth network: patterns and processes in species interactions
