Water source niche overlap increases with site moisture availability in woody perennials
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "Plant Ecology"
DOI: 10.1007/s11258-018-0829-z
Abstract: Classical niche partitioning theory posits increased competition for and partitioning of the most limiting resource among coexisting species. Coexisting plant species may vary in rooting depth, reflecting niche partitioning in water source use. Our goal… read more here.

Diet and trophic niche overlap among a native waterbird and two non-native herbivores in Pampas grasslands

DOI: 10.1016/j.fooweb.2021.e00201
Abstract: Abstract The use of areas by native and non-native herbivores in sympatry has frequently led to conflicts between farmers and native animals. Dietary studies integrating methodologies usually provide a better quantified understanding of resource sharing… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/00387010.2023.2202229
Abstract: Abstract It is critical to understand the potential effects of non-native species, especially on ecologically similar native species, and to reveal their trophic relationships. Cyprinid invasive fishes, Carassius gibelio, and translocated fish Cyprinus carpio has… read more here.

Quantifying niche availability, niche overlap and competition for recruitment sites in plant populations without explicit knowledge of niche axes
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "Journal of Ecology"
DOI: 10.1111/1365-2745.13137
Abstract: Niche availability, niche overlap and competitive ability are key determinants of the distribution and abundance of species. However, quantifying each of these components is difficult because it is not always possible to identify or measure… read more here.

When do herbivorous insects compete? A phylogenetic meta-analysis.

DOI: 10.1111/ele.13245
Abstract: When herbivorous insects interact, they can increase or decrease each other's fitness. As it stands, we know little of what causes this variation. Classic competition theory predicts that competition will increase with niche overlap and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/jbi.12910
Abstract: Aims Quantification of the degree to which ecological niches change over evolutionary time-scales is important for deepening our understanding of evolutionary and ecological processes. Phylogenetic niche conservatism (PNC) is when closely related species differ less… read more here.

Unravelling the climatic niche overlap of global sea turtle nesting sites: impact of geographical variation and phylogeny
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "Journal of Biogeography"
DOI: 10.1111/jbi.13092
Abstract: Aim Identifying processes that determine climatic niche dynamics is difficult, especially for wide-ranging species where niche conservatism might differ at different life stages. Evolutionary history shapes climatic niche, with populations of the same or phylogenetically… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/oik.04166
Abstract: Binary presence-absence matrices (rows = species, columns = sites) are often used to quantify patterns of species co-occurrence, and to infer possible biotic interactions from these patterns. Previous classifications of co-occurrence patterns as nested, segregated,… read more here.

From antagonistic larvae to mutualistic adults: coevolution of diet niches within life cycles
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "Oikos"
DOI: 10.1111/oik.05128
Abstract: Population structures largely affect higher levels of organization (community structure, ecosystem functioning), especially when involving ontogenetic changes in habitat or diet. Along life cycles, partners and interaction type may change: for instance Lepidopterans are herbivores… read more here.

DOI: 10.1128/spectrum.02524-21
Abstract: Despite that the influence of soil structure and fertilizer treatments on the bacterial community has been widely studied, how they drive interspecies interactions has not been largely explored. Connectance and nestedness were significantly correlated with… read more here.

DOI: 10.1139/cjfas-2020-0204
Abstract: Conceptually, trophic niche overlap and species abundance can describe the strength and number of interspecific trophic interactions to determine the competitive impact on reintroduced species or other ecosystem changes. We use an example with young-of-year… read more here.
