The Role of Cultural Traditions in Ecological Niche Partitioning in Cetaceans
AbstractEcological niche partitioning is a process that allows organisms to achieve differences in resource use to reduce competition. Niche...

Isotopic niche partitioning in a multi-species assemblage
Multi-species assemblages can help identify key resources in their habitat by evaluating how they are partitioning their resources. Here we used the...

Niche partitioning and individual specialisation in resources and space use of sympatric fur seals at their range margin
Ecological theory predicts niche partitioning between high-level predators living in sympatry as a mechanism to minimise the selective pressure of...

Diel niche partitioning of a plant-hummingbird network in the Atlantic forest of Brazil
Niche partitioning is an important mechanism that allows species to coexist. Within mutualistic interaction networks, diel niche partitioning, i.e.,...

Carnivore coexistence in Chicago: niche partitioning of coyotes and red foxes
Mesopredators including coyotes ( Canis latrans ) and red foxes ( Vulpes vulpes ) often co-occur in urban environments, but how niche partitioning...

Anthropogenically driven spatial niche partitioning in a large herbivore assemblage
Understanding how human activity can influence species distributions and spatial niche partitioning between sympatric species is a key area of...

Niche partitioning association of fungal genera correlated with lower Fusarium and fumonisin-B1 levels in maize
Through partitioning of ecological niches, several fungi are able to coexist on the same host crop. In (partial) absence of niche partitioning,...

Niche partitioning and seasonality may mediate coexistence of piranha species in Amazonian floodplain lakes
Unraveling factors that enable the coexistence of species occupying similar niches is a challenge in Ecology. In the Amazon basin, several piranha...

Drivers of niche partitioning in a community of mid-trophic level epipelagic species in the North Atlantic
According to the principles of community ecology, sympatric species may suffer a selective pressure to decrease their niche overlap through...

Nitrite accumulation and anammox bacterial niche partitioning in Arctic Mid-Ocean Ridge sediments
By consuming ammonium and nitrite, anammox bacteria form an important functional guild in nitrogen cycling in many environments, including marine...

Genomics of soil depth niche partitioning in the Thaumarchaeota family Gagatemarchaeaceae
Knowledge of deeply-rooted non-ammonia oxidising Thaumarchaeota lineages from terrestrial environments is scarce, despite their abundance in acidic...

Temporal niche partitioning among sympatric wild and domestic ungulates between warm and cold seasons
The coexistence of sympatric species with similar ecological niches has been a central issue in ecology. Clarifying the daily activity patterns of...

Niche partitioning and plastisphere core microbiomes in the two most plastic polluted zones of the world ocean
Plastics are offering a new niche for microorganisms colonizing their surface, the so-called “plastisphere,” in which diversity and community...

Sumatra-wide assessment of spatiotemporal niche partitioning among small carnivore species
Niche partitioning is a result of interspecific competition between closely-related species to allow co-existence. Multiple species of small...
-
Evidence for trophic niche partitioning among three temperate gorgonian octocorals
Trophic niche theory predicts that species in competition for a limiting resource will evolve adaptations allowing them to consume alternative...

Evaluating the temporal and spatio-temporal niche partitioning between carnivores by different analytical method in northeastern Japan
Temporal and spatio-temporal niche partitioning is an important strategy for carnivore coexistence. Camera-trap data has been analyzed through...

Recurring seasonality exposes dominant species and niche partitioning strategies of open ocean picoeukaryotic algae
Ocean spring phytoplankton blooms are dynamic periods important to global primary production. We document vertical patterns of a diverse suite of...

Niche partitioning among odontocetes in a marine biogeographic transition zone of the western South Atlantic Ocean
Toothed cetaceans represent a diverse and important component in poorly studied pelagic food webs. We used the variation in δ 13 C and δ 15 N values in...

Resource partitioning of a Mexican clam in species-poor Baltic Sea sediments indicates the existence of a vacant trophic niche
Invasive species are often generalists that can take advantage of formerly unexploited resources. The existence of such vacant niches is more likely...

Niche partitioning of the ubiquitous and ecologically relevant NS5 marine group
Niche concept is a core tenet of ecology that has recently been applied in marine microbial research to describe the partitioning of taxa based...
