Co-occurrence of two sympatric galliform species on a landscape-scale
Similar species may co-occur in sympatry because of the partitioning of habitat use and resources at different spatial and temporal scales. Understanding co-occurrence patterns of species may assist in explaining patterns of habitat selection, which is important when planning conservation actions for threatened species. Little is known about the ecological preferences of Asian hill partridges, ...
متن کاملPatterns of Niche Overlap among Broadly Sympatric versus Narrowly Sympatric Kalahari Lizards (scincidae: Mabuya)'
Two semiarboreal skinks (Mabuya) are narrowly sympatric in the Kalahari desert, whereas two terrestrial species are broadly sympatric both with one another and with the semiarboreal species. We attempt to discern reasons for these differing distributional patterns. The narrow zone of sympatry of the semiarboreal species is partially congruent with zones of habitat change (rainfall and vegetatio...
متن کامل[Dietary differences and niche partitioning in three sympatric Myotis species].
The morphology and diet characteristics of three Myotis species roosting in the same cave were studied in Anlong County, Guizhou from September to November 2005. The three mouse-eared bats were the Chinese water myotis (Myotis laniger) "body mass: (4.46±0.53) g, forearm: (34.63±1.45 mm)", fringed long-footed myotis (Myotis fimbriatus) "body mass: (5.15±1.76) g, forearm: (35.20±1.07) mm" and sze...
متن کاملHabitat Specificity in Three Sympatric Species of Ameiva (Reptilia: Teiidae)
Three sympatric species of Ameiva in Costa Rica (A. quadrilineata, A. festiva, and A. leptophrys) were found in distinct habitats with respect to vegetation cover, ground insolation, environmental temperatures, surface litter, and activity periods. Ameiva quadrilineata commonly forages in an area of open, low vegetation cover adjacent to bare soil. Its habitat is sunnier and warmer than those o...
متن کاملMicrobial Communities of Three Sympatric Australian Stingless Bee Species
Bacterial symbionts of insects have received increasing attention due to their prominent role in nutrient acquisition and defense. In social bees, symbiotic bacteria can maintain colony homeostasis and fitness, and the loss or alteration of the bacterial community may be associated with the ongoing bee decline observed worldwide. However, analyses of microbiota associated with bees have been la...
