Niche breadth, rarity and ecological characteristics within a regional flora spanning large environmental gradients (2012, background): “Apart from rare exceptions recorded in highly arid climates where environmental changes may favour specialist species over generalist species (Attum et al., 2006), species with limited environmental tolerance and resource use spectra are expected to be more sensitive to environmental changes than…”
Global change and species interactions in terrestrial ecosystems. (2008, background): “Habitat modification has also been shown to shift the competitive balance between different insect (Elzinga et al. 2007) and vertebrate species (Attum et al. 2006).”
Functional homogenization of bird communities along habitat gradients: accounting for niche multidimensionality (2010, methodology): “Attum et al., 2006), even though they should be placed along continuous gradients going from specialization to generalism. In a recent work, Julliard et al. (2006) developed a continuous index of specialization for bird species based on the coefficient of variation of their densities among habitat c”
