Niche expansion and the niche variation hypothesis: does the degree of individual variation increase in depauperate assemblages?
The niche expansion and niche variation hypotheses predict that release from interspecific competition will promote niche expansion in depauperate assemblages. Niche expansion can occur by different mechanisms, including an increase in within-individual, among-individual, or bimodal variation (sexual dimorphism). Here we explore whether populations with larger niche breadth have a higher degree...
متن کاملAIDS, individual behaviour and the unexplained remaining variation.
From the start of the AIDS pandemic, individual behaviour has been put forward, implicitly or explicitly, as the main explanatory concept for understanding the epidemiology of HIV infection and in particular for the rapid spread and high prevalence in sub-Saharan Africa. This has had enormous implications for the international response to AIDS and has heavily influenced public health policy and...
متن کاملWhat Drives the Skill Premium: Technological Change or Demographic Variation?
This paper quantitatively examines the e¤ects of two exogenous driving forces, investment-speci c technological change (ISTC) and the demographic change known as the baby boom and the baby bust,on the evolution of the skill premium in the postwar U.S. economy. I develop an overlapping generations general equilibrium model with endogenous discrete schooling choice. The production technology fe...
متن کاملRelationships between locomotor performance, microhabitat use and antipredator behaviour in lacertid lizards
1. Microhabitat use and antipredator behaviour (i.e. behavioural response to a bird model and refuge microhabitat) was measured in an experimental set-up for 11 lacertid lizard species. Additionally, locomotor performance (sprint speed, climbing and clambering speed, manoeuvrability and endurance) of the same species was quantified. 2. The results showed considerable interspecific variation in ...
متن کاملLandscape heterogeneity drives intra-population niche variation and reproduction in an arctic top predator
While intra-population variability in resource use is ubiquitous, little is known of how this measure of niche diversity varies in space and its role in population dynamics. Here we examined how heterogeneous breeding environments can structure intra-population niche variation in both resource use and reproductive output. We investigated intra-population niche variation in the Arctic tundra eco...
