Hard and soft allopatry: physically and ecologically mediated modes of geographic speciation (2010, background): “This highlights the importance of considering not only the niche of organisms, but also the interplay between the ecology of species and the environment in which they occur (e.g. Holt, 2009), and the timing of these interactions (e.g. Donoghue & Moore, 2003).”
Comparative analysis of diversity and environmental niches of soil bacterial, archaeal, fungal and protist communities reveal niche divergences along environmental gradients in the Alps (2021, background): “The environmental niche concept is fundamental in ecology and evolutionary biology (Hutchinson, 1957; Holt, 2009).”
Partial versus Full Species Distribution Models (2012, background): “Holt (2009) provides a comprehensive framework to study the evolution of the niche.”
The environment ontology: contextualising biological and biomedical entities (2013, background): “Further, confusion often arises when attempting to distinguish an environment from a habitat or niche: the environment an organism was observed in or isolated from may have little to do with its habitat or its niche, as described, for example, in [27].”
Analysing ecological networks of species interactions (2018, background): “Most notions in community ecology, including the definition of a community (Vellend, 2010; Morin, 2011), and several definitions of a niche (Holt, 2009; Devictor et al., 2010), emphasize the need to study the identity of species and their interactions simultaneously (although ecological network anal”
How to understand species’ niches and range dynamics: a demographic research agenda for biogeography (2012, background): “…such direct demographic measurements are scarce, mostly restricted to small and shortlived organisms, often do not cover all three fundamental demographic rates, and typically do not span the full range of environmental variation relevant at biogeographical scales (Gaston, 2009; Holt, 2009).”
Bringing Elton and Grinnell Together: a quantitative framework to represent the biogeography of ecological interaction networks (2016, positive): “Following Hutchinson 1957, the niche is viewed as the set of environmental conditions allowing a population to establish and persist (see also Holt 2009).”
Balancing heat, water and nutrients under environmental change: a thermodynamic niche framework (2013, background): “asex), may also be considered as constituting the fundamental niche (Holt 2009).”
Towards novel approaches to modelling biotic interactions in multispecies assemblages at large spatial extents (2012, background): “However, translating species’ niches into geographic distributions is a complex and difficult task (Holt, 2009), and the modelling of spatio-temporal dynamics in multispecies communities remains a significant challenge in ecology (Solé & Bascompte, 2006).”
What do we gain from simplicity versus complexity in species distribution models (2014, background): “…a fundamental feature of observed occurrence patterns because occurrence–environment relationships may be obscured by processes that are not exclusively related to the environment, such as dispersal, response to disturbance, and biotic interactions (Pulliam 2000, Holt 2009, Boulangeat et al. 2012).”
Biome Shifts and Niche Evolution in Plants (2014, background): “Holt (2009) referred to these as “statistical niche models” and highlighted their promise but also 550 Donoghue · Edwards A nn u.”
Ditch the niche – is the niche a useful concept in ecology or species distribution modelling? (2012, background): “…but we can measure it; at times it is a concept (Hutchinson, 1957), at times it refers to a living object (Elton, 1927), sometimes it is physical environmental factors (Holt, 2009), sometimes the concept is named after a process (Holt, 2009; Ricklefs, 2010), sometimes an author (Soberón, 2007).”
