On population abundance and niche structure
Recent published evidence indicates a negative correlation between density of populations
and the distance of their environments to a suitably defined 'niche centroid'. This empirical …

Predicting species' abundances from occurrence data: effects of sample size and bias
Modelling geographic patterns of abundance/density of species is an important step forward
in ecological niche modelling, with implications for theoretical and applied ecology. The …

On the relationship between niche and distribution
HR Pulliam - Ecology letters, 2000 - Wiley Online Library
Applications of Hutchinson'sn‐dimensional niche concept are often focused on the role of
interspecific competition in shaping species distribution patterns. In this paper, I discuss a …

Probabilistic and spatially variable niches inferred from demography
Mismatches between species distributions and habitat suitability are predicted by niche
theory and have important implications for forecasting how species may respond to …

Estimating the fundamental niche: Accounting for the uneven availability of existing climates in the calibration area
Studies that question important conceptual and methodological aspects of the field of
ecological niche modeling (and species distribution modeling) have cast doubts on whether …

Ditch the niche–is the niche a useful concept in ecology or species distribution modelling?
GJ McInerny, RS Etienne - Journal of Biogeography, 2012 - Wiley Online Library
In this first of three papers we examine the use of niche concepts in ecology and especially
in species distribution modelling (SDM). This paper deliberately focuses on the lack of clarity …

Experimental verification of ecological niche modeling in a heterogeneous environment
The current range of ecological habitats occupied by a species reflects a combination of the
ecological tolerance of the species, dispersal limitation, and competition. Whether the …

Of niches and distributions: range size increases with niche breadth both globally and regionally but regional estimates poorly relate to global estimates
The relationship between species' niche breadth (ie the range of environmental conditions
under which a species can persist) and range size (ie the extent of its spatial distribution) …
