: Species range expansion constrains the ecological niches of resident butterflies
• Changes in community composition resulting from climate change entail modifications of biotic interactions and reshape local species distributions. Such changes are currently occurring in nettle-feeding butterflies in Sweden where Araschnia levana has recently expanded its range northward and is now likely to interact with the resident species (Aglais urticae and Aglais io). Butterfly occurre...

21 Aim Changes in community composition resulting from environmental changes modify biotic 22 interactions and affect the distribution and density of local populations. Such changes are currently 23 occurring in nettle-feeding butterflies in Sweden where Araschnia levana has recently expanded 24 its range northward and is now likely to interact with the resident species (Aglais urticae and Agla...
متن کاملDiversity and significance of Burkholderia species occupying diverse ecological niches.
Members of the genus Burkholderia are versatile organisms that occupy a surprisingly wide range of ecological niches. These bacteria are exploited for biocontrol, bioremediation and plant growth promotion purposes, but safety issues regarding human infections, especially in cystic fibrosis patients, have not been solved. This minireview gives an overview of the taxonomic and ecological diversit...
متن کاملHierarchical traits distances explain grassland Fabaceae species' ecological niches distances
Fabaceae species play a key role in ecosystem functioning through their capacity to fix atmospheric nitrogen via their symbiosis with Rhizobium bacteria. To increase benefits of using Fabaceae in agricultural systems, it is necessary to find ways to evaluate species or genotypes having potential adaptations to sub-optimal growth conditions. We evaluated the relevance of phylogenetic distance, a...
متن کاملEcological Niches and Diversity Maintenance
Why do some places have much higher diversity than others? Explaining patterns of species diversity on the earth is a problem of long-standing for ecologists. Numerous diversity patterns have been documented [1], but the mechanisms behind these patterns remain poorly understood. If we knew the mechanisms, surer decisions in conservation and management would be possible. Understanding can be sou...
