چکیده
This measure ranges between 0 no overlap and 1 complete overlap, so 0. We investigated the niche breadth and overlap of the fish species occurring in four environments affected by the Coaracy Nunes reservoir, in the Amapá.Individual foraging specialization: niche width versus niche overlap.

Individual prey specialization in wasps: Predator size is a weak predictor of taxonomic niche width and niche overlap
Intuitively, larger predators in a population may be favoured in subduing, handling and carrying to the nest a wider range of prey compared to smaller ones. In absence of any individual chemical or behavioural bias in prey choice, and independently from size-biased preference, it may be predicted: (1) that smaller wasps would have both narrower niches and lower niche overlap than larger wasps, ...
متن کاملFeeding and reproductive patterns of Astyanax intermedius in a headwater stream of Atlantic Rainforest.
In this paper, we determined diet composition, reproductive periodicity and fecundity of Astyanax intermedius in a headwater stream of a State Park of an Atlantic rainforest. We also evaluated the influence of rainfall, water temperature and fish size on niche width and niche overlap. Sampling was conducted monthly throughout one year in the Ribeirão Grande stream, southeastern Brazil. Diet con...
متن کاملIndividual foraging specialization: niche width versus niche overlap
A recent review of individual specialization suggests it is widespread and has important implications for conservation, ecology and evolution (Bolnick et al. 2003). Dozens of studies have identified ‘‘individual foraging specialization’’ in a variety of species, yet upon closer examination these studies differ markedly in how they define and quantify specialization. Given such diverse approache...
متن کاملTropical Forests Are Non-Equilibrium Ecosystems Governed by Interspecific Competition Based on Universal 1/6 Niche Width
Tropical forests are mega-diverse ecosystems that display complex and non-equilibrium dynamics. However, theoretical approaches have largely focused on explaining steady-state behaviour and fitting snapshots of data. Here we show that local and niche interspecific competition can realistically and parsimoniously explain the observed non-equilibrium regime of permanent plots of nine tropical for...
متن کاملEcological Niche Modeling of Mountain Vipers from the Raddei Clade in Iran, Caucasus and Eastern Turkey
Mountain vipers of the genus Montivipera, generally, and the species of the Raddei clade, specifically, are interesting examples of species neo-endemism in Iran, Anatolia, and the Caucasus. Given the critical conservation status of these species, it is necessary to identify their suitable habitats for prioritizing conservation measures. We modeled ecological niche of each species based on four ...
