Abstract: Closely related species living in sympatry are often partitioned into divergent ecological niches. Such specialization can be enabled by the evolution of divergent traits enhancing adaptation to different niches. In this study, we investigate the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00265-019-2664-1
Abstract: Time is considered a resource in limited supply, and temporal niche separation is one of the most common strategies that allow ecologically similar species to live in sympatry. Mechanisms of temporal niche separation are understudied… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-018-37954-0
Abstract: The seasonal timing of recurring biological processes is essential for organisms living in temperate regions. While ample knowledge of these processes exists for terrestrial environments, seasonal timing in the marine environment is relatively understudied. Here,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-024-61463-y
Abstract: The coexistence of sympatric species with similar ecological niches has been a central issue in ecology. Clarifying the daily activity patterns of sympatric wild ungulates can help understand their temporal niche differentiation and the mechanisms… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/femsec/fiad049
Abstract: The hydrogen-dependent and methylotrophic order Methanomassiliicoccales consists of the families Methanomethylophilaceae and Methanomassiliicoccaceae. While Methanomethylophilaceae are comparatively well studied, there is a lack of knowledge on Methanomassiliicoccaceae. In this 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing based… read more here.

Temporal niche partitioning as a novel mechanism promoting co-existence of sympatric predators in marine systems

DOI: 10.1098/rspb.2021.0816
Abstract: Niche partitioning of time, space or resources is considered the key to allowing the coexistence of competitor species, and particularly guilds of predators. However, the extent to which these processes occur in marine systems is… read more here.
