Niche breadth is a unifying concept spanning diverse aspects of ecology, evolution, and
conservation biology. Niche breadth usually refers to the diversity of resources used or …

Species‐level forecasts of distributional potential and likely distributional shifts, in the face of
changing climates, have become popular in the literature in the past 20 years. Many …

Ecological niche modeling (ENM) is widely employed in ecology to predict species' potential
geographic distributions in relation to their environmental constraints and is rapidly …

Species assemble into communities through ecological and evolutionary processes.
Phylogenetic niche conservatism—the tendency of species to retain ancestral ecological …

Extensive empirical work has demonstrated local adaptation to discrete environments, yet
few studies have elucidated the genetic and environment mechanisms that generate it …

The extent to which closely related species share similar niches remains highly debated.
Ecological niches are increasingly analysed by combining distribution records with broad …

Our understanding of how biotic interactions influence animal community assembly is
largely restricted to local systems due to the difficulty of obtaining ecologically meaningful …

Knowledge of relationships between phylogenetic structure of a biological assemblage and
ecological factors that drive the variation of phylogenetic structure among regions is crucial …

European grasslands are among the most species-rich ecosystems on small spatial scales.
However, human-induced activities like land use and climate change pose significant …

A fundamental goal of ecology is to understand the determinants of species' distributions (ie,
the set of locations where a species is present). Competition among species (ie, interactions …
