Sentence examples for niche dimensions from inspiring English sources

Jackson, S. T., Betancourt, J. L., Booth, R. K. & Gray, S. T. Ecology and the ratchet of events: climate variability, niche dimensions, and species distributions.

The findings suggest that selection on a greater number of niche dimensions promotes evolutionary divergence.

Models of HNT consistently prescribe identical intrinsic rates and niche dimensions.

can result in local niche dimensions that can explain species coexistence.

However, greater divergence between a species pair involved divergent selection on both niche dimensions.

Here we ask if a greater level of phenotypic and evolutionary divergence than observed between ecotypes is associated with selection on more niche dimensions (i.e., colour and physiology).

We also developed the allometric niche model, in which body size is used as the niche dimension.

Thus, ecotypes of both species are subject to divergent selection only along the single niche dimension of crypsis.

Ranges of variables observed in invasive populations which exceed those observed in native ones can be interpreted as shifts in niche dimension.

Pairs of populations using the same host-plant species exhibit little or no reproductive isolation, and differ along neither the niche dimension of crypsis nor that of physiology.

The recent allometric diet breadth model (ADBM) [11] assumes that species lie on a one dimensional niche (as in the niche model) and that this niche dimension maps onto body size.
