DOI: 10.1002/ajb2.16043
Abstract: PREMISE OF THE STUDY The successful establishment of polyploid species is hypothesized to be promoted by niche differentiation from the parental species, or by range shifts during climate oscillations. However, few studies have considered both… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.6770
Abstract: Abstract Competition for resources often contributes strongly to defining an organism's ecological niche. Endogenous biological rhythms are important adaptations to the temporal dimension of niches, but how other organisms influence such temporal niches has not… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10452-018-9653-8
Abstract: After Chelicorophium curvispinum, two other Ponto-Caspian tube-dwelling, filter-feeding amphipod species (Chelicorophium robustum and Chelicorophium sowinskyi) have colonized several catchments in Central and Western Europe in recent decades. To reveal the mechanism of niche differentiation among… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10530-021-02479-7
Abstract: Multidimensional niche differentiation might increase the stability of coexistence by reducing overall niche overlap which might have implications on the dynamics of biological invasions. The oligohaline Baltic Seais inhabited by three native and one invasive… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s11104-019-04350-0
Abstract: Aims Separating the effect of resource competition from allelopathy in plants is challenging and it has never been attempted in closely related co-occurring bryophytes. In peatlands, peat mosses ( Sphagnum spp.) show niche differentiation along… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.apsoil.2021.103965
Abstract: Abstract Nutrient resource availability is a crucial environmental factor in determining soil bacterial community assembly. However, the effects of nutrient availability on niche differentiation and temporal co-occurrence patterns of bacterial communities remain elusive. Here, we… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41522-022-00291-2
Abstract: Network models and community phylogenetic analyses are applied to assess the composition, structure, and ecological assembly mechanisms of microbial communities. Here we combine both approaches to investigate the temporal dynamics of network properties in individual… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/ele.13402
Abstract: Polyploid speciation entails substantial and rapid postzygotic reproductive isolation of nascent species that are initially sympatric with one or both parents. Despite strong postzygotic isolation, ecological niche differentiation has long been thought to be important… read more here.
