Unifying niche shift studies: insights from biological invasions.
Assessing whether the climatic niche of a species may change between different geographic areas or time periods has become increasingly important in the context of ongoing global change. However, approaches and findings have remained largely controversial so far, calling for a unification of methods. Here, we build on a review of empirical studies of invasion to formalize a unifying framework t...

متن کاملEcological and evolutionary insights from species invasions.
Species invasions provide numerous unplanned and frequently, but imperfectly, replicated experiments that can be used to better understand the natural world. Classic studies by Darwin, Grinnell, Elton and others on these species-invasion experiments provided invaluable insights for ecology and evolutionary biology. Recent studies of invasions have resulted in additional insights, six of which w...
متن کاملBiological invasions
Where do basal bodies come from? The basal body is considered to be a self-replicating organelle. In a process that is not yet completely understood, the daughter basal body is assembled adjacent and orthogonal to the mother organelle. Although this was long speculated to be a templated assembly process, it is likely that the mother basal body acts as the site where components required for asse...
متن کاملETTER Evidence of climatic niche shift during biological invasion
Niche-based models calibrated in the native range by relating species observations to climatic variables are commonly used to predict the potential spatial extent of species invasion. This climate matching approach relies on the assumption that invasive species conserve their climatic niche in the invaded ranges. We test this assumption by analysing the climatic niche spaces of Spotted Knapweed...
