Pneumonia and influenza: specific considerations in care homes by Gordon, Adam, Ewan, Victoria

“…The care home sector is growing and provides a unique ecological niche for infections, housing frail older people with multiple comorbidities and frequent contact with healthcare services. …”

“Aristotle, biophenomenology and responsibility”. by Millett, Stephan

“…In doing so it creates for itself a unique ‘semiotic niche’ the nature of which is defined by its own structure. In determining ecological niche value both capacity or potential to affect and actual interconnection with others in the environment are morally relevant factors. …”

Occurrence and significance of phytanyl arenes across the Permian-Triassic boundary interval by Grotheer, H., Le Métayer, P., Piggott, M., Lindeboom, E., Holman, A., Twitchett, R., Grice, Kliti

“…The occurrence of these compounds through the different PTB sections is related to the occurrence of the previously identified C33 n-alkyl cyclohexane, suggesting their parent organism shared a similar unique ecological niche and was associated with the extinction horizon. …”

Hagfish predatory behaviour and slime defence mechanism by Zintzen, V., Roberts, C., Anderson, M., Stewart, A., Struthers, C., Harvey, Euan

“…They are thought to fulfil primarily the ecological niche of scavengers in the deep ocean. However, we present new footage from baited video cameras that captured images of hagfishes actively preying on other fish. …”

Non-respiratory infections – specific considerations in care homes by Ewan, Victoria, Gordon, Adam

“…The care home sector provides a unique ecological niche for infections, housing frail older people with multiple co-morbidities and frequent contact with healthcare services in a semi-closed environment. …”

Climate change may drive cave spiders to extinction by Mammola, Stefano, Goodacre, S.L., Isaia, Marco

“…Constant temperatures recorded inside caves provide an approximation of the mean annual temperature outside, thus we extend the results to a regional scale. Ecological niche modeling is used to predict habitat suitability both in the Pleistocene and under future global warming scenarios. …”

Genome-culture coevolution promotes rapid divergence of killer whale ecotypes by Foote, A., Vijay, N., Avila-Arcos, M., Baird, R., Durban, J., Fumagalli, M., Gibbs, R., Hanson, M., Korneliussen, T., Martin, M., Robertson, K., Sousa, V., Vieira, F., Vinar, T., Wade, P., Worley, K., Excoffier, L., Morin, P., Gilbert, Thomas, Wolf, J.

“…Analysing population genomic data from killer whale ecotypes, which we estimate have globally radiated within less than 250,000 years, we show that genetic structuring including the segregation of potentially functional alleles is associated with socially inherited ecological niche. Reconstruction of ancestral demographic history revealed bottlenecks during founder events, likely promoting ecological divergence and genetic drift resulting in a wide range of genome-wide differentiation between pairs of allopatric and sympatric ecotypes. …”

Aristotle's Powers and Responsibility for Nature by Millett, Stephan John

“…In doing so it identifies three forms of value that hu-mans need to take into account when determining their actions: semiotic niche value; onto-logical niche value (a value correlated with the complexity of an organism); and ecological niche value. If each of these forms of value is taken into account, humans can make better-informed judgements as to how they should treat living things, but, ultimately humans need to acknowledge they have a responsibility to ensure the wellbeing of each organism simply because each is living and has unique value.…”

Characterisation of range restriction amongst the rare flora of Banded Ironstone Formation ranges in semiarid south-western Australia by Robinson, Todd, Virgilio, G., Temple-Smith, D., Hesford, J., Wardell-Johnson, Grant

“…All species were used as input into ecological niche models to determine the importance and behaviour of five environmental variables derived from 2m resolution LiDAR imagery over 1605 km2, extrapolate habitat suitability and compare niche similarity. …”

Middle Ear Cavity Morphology Is Consistent with an Aquatic Origin for Testudines by Willis, K., Christensen-Dalsgaar, J., Ketten, Darlene, Carr, C.

“…Complicating matters, the ecological niche of stem testudines is ambiguous. To understand how turtles have evolved to hear in different environments, we examined middle ear morphology and scaling in most extant families, as well as some extinct species, using 3-dimensional reconstructions from micro magnetic resonance (MR) and submillimeter computed tomography (CT) scans. …”

Exploring the nature of ecological specialization in a coral reef fish community: Morphology, diet and foraging microhabitat use by Brandl, S., Robbins, William, Bellwood, D.

“…Yet, specialization is rarely quantified across several ecological niche axes and variables beyond the link between morphological and dietary specialization have received little attention. …”
