Diverse Mycorrhizal Associations Enhance Terrestrial C Storage in a Global Model (2019, methodology): “We compared the niche overlap of model‐based and empirical‐based AM or ECM distributions using the calc.niche.overlap function in the ENMEval R package with the I similarity statistic (Warren et al., 2008).”
How to make more out of community data? A conceptual framework and its implementation as models and software. (2017, background): “Accounting for phylogenetic signal can also yield further evolutionary insights, as it allows one to examine niche evolution by asking whether related species have more similar niches than expected by chance (Warren et al. 2008).”
Species-specific tuning increases robustness to sampling bias in models of species distributions: An implementation with Maxent (2011, background): “Furthermore, studies of niche evolution (Wiens and Graham, 005; Warren et al., 2008) also require models that are not overˇ regularization parameter 1.”
Comparing sample bias correction methods for species distribution modeling using virtual species (2021, background): “Some formal tests, such as niche equivalency (Warren et al. 2008), have been based on SDM and have been used extensively to investigate niche conservatism in related extant taxa (e.g., Strubbe et al. 2014), though these tests compare spatial predictions of habitat potential between species to infer…”
Coexistence of mesopredators in an intact polar ocean ecosystem: The basis for defining a Ross Sea marine protected area (2012, methodology): “We then used a niche similarity statistic (I; Warren et al., 2008, corrected per Warren pers. comm.) to measure the degree of environmental niche overlap between each species pair.”
Divergent and narrower climatic niches characterize polyploid species of European primroses in Primula sect. Aleuritia (2013, positive): “Results of background similarity tests in G-space are more complex, but significant niche differentiation is detected in all three pairwise comparisons P. farinosa–P. scotica, P. farinosa–P. scandinavica, and P. scotica–P. scandinavica (observed overlap lower than 95% of the null distribution; Table”
Uses and misuses of bioclimatic envelope modeling. (2012, background): “…envelopes of sister species pairs tend to find strong ecological similarity among them (Peterson et al. 1999, Martı́nez- Meyer and Peterson 2006, Warren et al. 2008, Hof et al. 2010), and many analyses have indicated that invasive species follow the same bioclimatic frameworks in…”
Ecological niche conservatism: a time‐structured review of evidence (2011, methodology): “While the difference of opinion is partly a result of methodological artefact (Warren et al., 2008), it also reflects the immature nature of this field and the preliminary nature of the data and methods available, suggesting the need for synthesis and summary.”
