Endemic species and ecosystem sensitivity to climate change in Namibia (2006, methodology): “The type of model used in this study (NBM) relies on the definition of the ecological niche of the selected species (Pulliam, 2000).”
Pervasive effects of dispersal limitation on within- and among-community species richness in agricultural landscapes (2009, background): “Based on niche theory, beta diversity has long been assumed to be primarily determined by (environmental) variation between local communities (e.g. Pulliam, 2000).”
Establishing the link between habitat selection and animal population dynamics (2015, background): “…2012, 2013, McInerny and Etienne 2013) have a common origin: it is genuinely difficult to quantify the niche from spatial data because it is a concept deeply rooted in current environmental space but with its branches extending into future population growth and long-term dynamics (Pulliam 2000).”
How to understand species’ niches and range dynamics: a demographic research agenda for biogeography (2012, background): “Importantly, however, all of these refinements of the Hutchinsonian niche can be derived from ‘demographic response functions’ (Pulliam, 2000) that describe how birth and death rates vary with environmental conditions (Maguire, 1973; Hutchinson, 1978; Holt, 2009).”
The role of biotic interactions in shaping distributions and realised assemblages of species: implications for species distribution modelling (2012, background): “Theoretically, species distribution models (SDMs) are based on the concept of realized niche (sensu Hutchinson, 1957; Pulliam, 2000), and a number of studies suggest that they do not completely account for biotic interactions (see Zimmermann et al.”
Benthos distribution modelling and its relevance for marine ecosystem management (2015, background): “Finally, the biological factors themselves may affect environmental predictors, as species may change their own and the other species habitat as “ecosystem engineers” (Jones et al., 1994; Pulliam, 2000).”
Responses of ‘resistant’ vertebrates to habitat loss and fragmentation: the importance of niche breadth and range boundaries (2003, methodology): “Ideally, patch-specific demographic data would be used (e.g. Pulliam, 2000).”
Modelling species distributions without using species distributions: the cane toad in Australia under current and future climates (2008, background): “Thus, the actual geographical range is likely to be more restricted than what we predict, either because of additional unconsidered aspects of the fundamental niche, or because of biotic interactions which constrict the fundamental niche to a narrower realized niche (but see Pulliam 2000 ).”
Positive relationship between regional distribution and local abundance in stream insects: a consequence of niche breadth or niche position? (2005, neutral): “fill their realized niches (Pulliam 2000).”
Species' borders: A unifying theme in ecology (2005, positive): “Given dispersal, ranges extend into habitats beyond niche limits because recurrent immigration sustains ‘sink’ populations at locations where conditions are outside the niche (Pulliam 2000).”
Predicting potential distributions of invasive species: where to go from here? (2010, background): “In the absence of source-sink dynamics, this intersection, commonly called the realized niche of the species (Hutchinson, 1957), is theoretically smaller than the species’ fundamental niche (Pulliam, 2000).”
Community Patterns in Source‐Sink Metacommunities (2003, background): “At the metacommunity scale, a source-sink (Pulliam 1988) or mass (Shmida and Ellner 1984) effect occurs because species are not excluded from communities where they are bad competitors, because they immigrate (Brown and Kodric-Brown 1977; Loreau and Mouquet 1999) from other communities where they…”
The importance of biotic interactions in species distribution models: a test of the Eltonian noise hypothesis using parrots (2014, background): “Species can occur in habitats outside their abiotic niche, because recurrent dispersal sustains ‘sink’ populations (Pulliam, 2000), or a species may be absent from habitat within its abiotic niche because of dispersal barriers or biotic interactions (e.”
Connecting geographical distributions with population processes (2002, background): “Nevertheless, it is not unreasonable to expect that such models might exist (Taylor & Taylor; Kendal 1992; Ritchie 1997; Pulliam 2000).”
Climatic niche at physiological and macroecological scales: the thermal tolerance–geographical range interface and niche dimensionality (2014, background): “They include, for example, a population’s source–sink dynamics (Pulliam, 2000), adaptation at peripheral distributions and Allee effects, among many others (see, e.”
ecospat: an R package to support spatial analyses and modeling of species niches and distributions (2017, background): “It is now recognized that four main factors shape the distribution of species in time and space: environmental suitability, colonisation history and ability, biotic interactions, and natural and anthropogenic disturbances (Pulliam 2000, Lortie et al. 2004, Soberon 2007).”
