Acknowledging uncertainty in evolutionary reconstructions of ecological niches
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2020 at "Ecology and Evolution"
DOI: 10.1002/ece3.6359
Abstract: Abstract Reconstructing ecological niche evolution can provide insight into the biogeography and diversification of evolving lineages. However, comparative phylogenetic methods may infer the history of ecological niche evolution inaccurately because (a) species' niches are often… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.pocean.2016.08.002
Abstract: Abstract The distribution and reproductive traits of copepods of the genus Clausocalanus were investigated during the Atlantic Meridional Transect cruise AMT-15, in September–October 2004 to estimate their ecological niches and secondary production in the epipelagic… read more here.

DOI: 10.1017/s0031182022000920
Abstract: Abstract Abstract Haemoparasites represent a diverse group of vector-borne parasites that infect a wide range of vertebrate hosts. In birds, haemoparasite infection rates may be associated with various ecological and life history traits, including habitat… read more here.

DOI: 10.1073/pnas.1908684117
Abstract: Significance Forecasts of global change impacts on biodiversity often assume that the current geographical distributions of species match their ecological niches. Here we examine this assumption using an extensive dataset of large-scale variation in demographic… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/femsec/fiac045
Abstract: Antimicrobial resistance represents a global health problem, with infections due to pathogenic antimicrobial resistant bacteria (ARB) predicted to be the most frequent cause of human mortality by 2050. The phenomenon of antimicrobial resistance has spread… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fpls.2023.1148828
Abstract: Introduction The high frequency of polyploidy in the evolutionary history of many plant groups occurring in the Mediterranean region is likely a consequence of its dynamic paleogeographic and climatic history. Polyploids frequently have distinct characteristics… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/antibiotics12050866
Abstract: The Pseudomonas aeruginosa genome can change to adapt to different ecological niches. We compared four genomes from a Mexican hospital and 59 genomes from GenBank from different niches, such as urine, sputum, and environmental. The… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/foods12010185
Abstract: Probiotics such as Lactobacillus spp. could modulate the intestinal microbiota composition, supporting gastrointestinal tract barrier function and benefiting human health. To evaluate the anticancer and probiotic properties of potentially active autochthonous Lacticaseibacillus paracasei strains on… read more here.
