Thermal adaptation generates a diversity of thermal limits in a rainforest ant community
Abstract The Thermal Adaptation Hypothesis posits that the warmer, aseasonal tropics
generates populations with higher and narrower thermal limits. It has largely been tested …

Biogeographic patterns of microbial co-occurrence ecological networks in six American forests
Rather than simple accumulation of individual populations, microorganisms in natural
ecosystems form complex ecological networks that are critical to maintain ecosystem …

Competition and resource breadth shape niche variation and overlap in multiple trophic dimensions
Competition plays a central role in the maintenance of biodiversity. A backbone of classic
niche theory is that local coexistence of competitors is favoured by the contraction or …

Resource diversity promotes among‐individual diet variation, but not genomic diversity, in lake stickleback
Many generalist species consist of specialised individuals that use different resources. This
within‐population niche variation can stabilise population and community dynamics …

Assessing the Synergistic Effects of Land Use and Climate Change on Terrestrial Biodiversity: Are Generalists Always the Winners?
Abstract Purpose of Review There is increasing evidence that land use and land cover
(LULC) change interacts with climate change to shape biodiversity dynamics. The prevailing …

Drivers of individual niche variation in coexisting species
Although neglected by classic niche theory, individual variation is now recognized as a
prevalent phenomenon in nature with evolutionary and ecological relevance. Recent theory …

Modeling terrestrial carbon and water dynamics across climatic gradients: does plant trait diversity matter?
Plant trait diversity in many vegetation models is crudely represented using a discrete
classification of a handful of 'plant types'(named plant functional types; PFTs). The …

Beyond ecological opportunity: Prey diversity rather than abundance shapes predator niche variation
Ecological opportunity (ie the diversity of available resources) has a pivotal role in sha**
niche variation and trophic specialisation of animals. However, ecological opportunity can …

ATLANTIC MAMMAL TRAITS: a data set of morphological traits of mammals in the Atlantic Forest of South America
Measures of traits are the basis of functional biological diversity. Numerous works consider
mean species‐level measures of traits while ignoring individual variance within species …

Intraspecific ecological niche divergence and reproductive shifts foster cytotype displacement and provide ecological opportunity to polyploids
Abstract Background and Aims Niche divergence between polyploids and their lower ploidy
progenitors is one of the primary mechanisms fostering polyploid establishment and …
