Understanding how species are distributed across space and what determines where they live is one of the oldest goals in Ecology. The concept of niche is very closely related to this goal. In fact, environmental variables are frequently used to predict the potential distribution of species. Niche amplitude is an important concept which helps us to understand which part of the available environmental space each species occupies, and how much of their niches overlap. Here we used a measure of niche amplitude based on the minimum and maximum tolerances of terrestrial vertebrates (except reptiles) for each variable related to climate. We calculated a single measure of niche amplitude for each species by considering together all chosen environmental variables. We used this number to first investigate the presence of latitudinal gradient in niche amplitude across the study area, which comprised the whole terrestrial globe. There is a significant correlation between niche amplitude and latitude for Old World birds. Second we tried to identify some phylogenetic structure in niche amplitude for birds. For this goal, we calculated the pair-wise niche overlap, and then compared the degree of overlap with pair-wise phylogenetic distances. We found no relationship between niche overlap and phylogenetic distance. We conclude that the absence of phylogenetic signal in niche overlap is due to the high dispersion capability of birds in general. If species have a high geographic range, they consequently have high niche amplitude, and therefore high overlap rates. Finally, we found a clear tendency of positive local spatial autocorrelation in mean niche overlap, as neighbor cells tend to show similar rates of niche overlap between species.
Compreender os fatores que determinam a distribuição das espécies no espaço geográfico é uma das questões mais importantes em ecologia. O conceito de nicho é fortemente relacionado a essa questão. Não por acaso, variáveis ambientais são comumente usadas para inferir a distribuição potencial de espécies. Amplitude de nicho é uma medida importante que nos possibilita saber que proporção do espaço ambiental cada espécie ocupa. Assim, podemos também identificar que proporção do espaço ocupado por cada espécie, seu nicho, é sobreposta pelo nicho das espécies coexistentes. No presente trabalho utilizamos uma medida de amplitude de nicho específica baseada na soma das tolerâncias para cada variável climática utilizada. Utilizamos essa medida para investigar, primeiramente, a presença de estrutura espacial, especificamente gradiente latitudinal, na amplitude de nicho de vertebrados terrestres (exceto répteis), numa escala global. Apenas aves do Velho Mundo apresentaram amplitude de nicho negativamente associada à latitude. Posteriormente, investigamos a presença de estrutura filogenética na amplitude de nicho em Aves, baseados na hipótese de conservação de nicho. Para esse objetivo calculamos a sobreposição de nicho par-a-par e então correlacionamos essa medida com as distâncias filogenéticas. Não houve correlação entre proximidade filogenética e sobreposição de nicho. Tal resultado pode estar relacionado à grande capacidade de dispersão de aves. Se a área de ocupação geográfica é ampla, a amplitude das tolerâncias é em geral alta e consequentemente a sobreposição média entre diferentes espécies. Finalmente houve forte indício de autocorrelação espacial positiva na sobreposição média por célula entre células próximas, indicando que áreas próximas tendem a apresentar espécies com taxas semelhantes de sobreposição de nicho.

Nas ultimas décadas, modelagem de nicho ecológico vem recebendo maior atenção em diversas áreas da biologia devido a evolução dos computadores pessoais e aumento dos dados disponíveis utilizados para a modelagem. Os resultados obtidos podem ser utilizados em ações preventivas, tais quais manejo de espécie e acompanhamento da distribuição de espécies invasoras. Desde o aumento dessa popularidade, diversos algoritmos estão disponíveis e testes estão em andamento para averiguar suas performances em relação a diferentes filos. Invertebrados marinhos, mais especificamente cnidários, apresentam poucos estudos nesse ramo, devendo receber mais atenção nos próximos anos devido ao aumento global das populações de aguas vivas (blooms), e branqueamento em quase todos os recifes de corais. Devido a essa lacuna em informação, este grupo foi escolhido para comparar três algoritmos. Utilizamos o MAXENT, GARP e AquaMaps em suas formas de desktop e os selecionamos baseado em outros estudos comparando algoritmos. Utilizamos diferentes organismos do filo cnidária, Lychnorhiza lucerna, Chrysaora lactea, Phyllorhiza punctata, Tamoya haplonema, Ceriantheomorphe brasiliensis e Mussismilia hispida, para comparar os algoritmos e averiguar qual demonstrou melhor performance. Nossos resultados mostram que o MAXENT superou os outros algoritmos tanto com relação a Área Sob a Curva ROC (AUC), quanto com relação aos mapas de distribuição. O GARP apresentou resultados variados com mapas generalizados e AquaMaps foi o menos confiável. Nossos resultados são similares aqueles encontrados em diversas publicações, significando então, que o MAXENT é o algoritmo mais confiável em se tratando da modelagem de nicho desses organismos.
Recently, ecological niche modelling has been receiving more attention in several areas in biology, due to the evolution of personal computers, and the increasing availability of data used in modelling. The results obtained can be used in preventive actions such as species management and invasive species distribution. Since its increasing popularity, several algorithms are available and undergoing tests regarding their performance towards different phylum. Marine invertebrates, more specifically cnidarians, present few studies on this field, and should receive closer attention in the next years due to worldwide increases in jellyfish population (blooms), and bleaching in almost every known shallow water coral reef. Because of this gap of information, we chose this still poor studied group to compare three algorithms. We used MAXENT, GARP and AquaMaps in its desktop form and selected them based on other studies comparing algorithms. Our aim was to, based on different organisms of the phylum Cnidaria, Lychnorhiza lucerna, Chrysaora lactea, Phyllorhiza punctata, Tamoya haplonema, Ceriantheomorphe brasiliensis and Mussismilia hispida, compare those algorithms and examine which one performed the best. Our results shown that MAXENT outperformed the other algorithms both regarding de Area Under the ROC Curve (AUC) and the map distribution. GARP show varying results with generalized maps and AquaMaps was the least accurate of them. Our results are similar to those found in other papers, thus meaning that MAXENT is the most reliable software when it comes to modelling these animals.

As many species face increasing pressure in a changing climate, it is crucial to understand the set of environmental conditions that shape species' ranges--known as the environmental niche--to guide conservation and land management practices. Species distribution models (SDMs) are common tools that are used to model species' environmental niche. These models treat a species' probability of occurrence as a function of environmental conditions. SDM niche estimates can predict a species' range given climate data, paleoclimate, or projections of future climate change to estimate species range shifts from the past to the future. However, SDM estimates are often biased by non-environmental factors shaping a species' range including competitive divergence or dispersal barriers. Biased SDM estimates can result in range predictions that get worse as we extrapolate beyond the observed climatic conditions. One way to overcome these biases is by leveraging the shared evolutionary history amongst related species to "fill in the gaps". Species that are more closely phylogenetically related often have more similar or "conserved" environmental niches. By estimating environmental niche over all species in a clade jointly, we can leverage niche conservatism to produce more biologically realistic estimates of niche. However, currently a methodological gap exists between SDMs estimates and macroevolutionary models, prohibiting them from being estimated jointly. We propose a novel model of evolutionary niche called PhyNE (Phylogenetic Niche Evolution), where biologically realistic environmental niches are fit across a set of species with occurrence data, while simultaneously fitting and leveraging a model of evolution across a portion of the tree of life. We evaluated model accuracy, bias, and precision through simulation analyses. Accuracy and precision increased with larger phylogeny size and effectively estimated model parameters. We then applied PhyNE to Plethodontid salamanders from Eastern North America. This ecologically-important and diverse group of lungless salamanders require cold and wet conditions and have distributions that are strongly affected by climatic conditions. Species within the family vary greatly in distribution, with some species being wide ranging generalists, while others are hyper-endemics that inhabit specific mountains in the Southern Appalachians with restricted thermal and hydric conditions. We fit PhyNE to occurrence data for these species and their associated average annual precipitation and temperature data. We identified no correlations between species environmental preference and specialization. Pattern of preference and specialization varied among Plethodontid species groups, with more aquatic species possessing a broader environmental niche, likely due to the aquatic microclimate facilitating occurrence in a wider range of conditions. We demonstrated the effectiveness of PhyNE's evolutionarily-informed estimates of environmental niche, even when species' occurrence data is limited or even absent. PhyNE establishes a proof-of-concept framework for a new class of approaches for studying niche evolution, including improved methods for estimating niche for data-deficient species, historical reconstructions, future predictions under climate change, and evaluation of niche evolutionary processes across the tree of life. Our approach establishes a framework for leveraging the rapidly growing availability of biodiversity data and molecular phylogenies to make robust eco-evolutionary predictions and assessments of species' niche and distributions in a rapidly changing world.

The similarity of life-history traits among closely related species is a well-known pattern in evolutionary biology. Thus, closely related species tend to be more akin to each other than to distantly related ones. The propensity of closely related species to conserve climatic niche features over macroevolutionary time can be defined as climatic niche conservatism. Recent studies have shown the importance of environmental variables with regards to the diversity and distribution of anurans with differences in their reproductive traits under an evolutionary perspective. In this work, using frog species in the Hylidae family, we tested the hypothesis that species more independent from main bodies of water for reproduction are restricted to areas with higher temperature and precipitation means. We also investigated the evolution of climatic niche features of species with different degrees of dependence on water for reproduction. Our results corroborate the first hypothesis and show that terrestrial egg-laying species, in the Hylinae subfamily, have more conserved climatic niche position when compared to Hylinae species that deposits their eggs and tadpoles in main water bodies. Thus, we suggest that reproductive modes are associated with variation in the evolution of climatic niches of frogs.
A similaridade entre atributos de espécies aparentadas é um padrão tradicional reconhecido em biologia evolutiva. Espécies aparentadas tendem ser mais similares entre si do que com espécies não aparentadas. A tendência de espécies aparentadas conservar as características de seu nicho ao longo do tempo macroevolutivo pode ser definido como conservação filogenética de nicho. Estudos recentes tem mostrado a importância das variáveis climáticas na distribuição de anfíbios anuros com diferentes modos reprodutivos utilizando uma abordagem evolutiva. Neste trabalho, usando as espécies de pererecas da família Hylidae, testamos a hipótese de que espécies menos dependentes dos corpos d'água para reprodução ocorrem em áreas mais quentes e mais úmidas. Além disso, investigamos como foi a evolução dos atributos do nicho climático (posição e amplitude) de espécies, da subfamília Hylinae, com diferentes níveis de dependência dos corpos d'água para reprodução. Nossos resultados corroboram a primeira hipótese e mostram que, espécies da subfamília Hylinae que depositam seus ovos fora da água estão restritas a lugares mais quentes e mais úmidos. Além disso, tais espécies tem o nicho climático mais conservado do que espécies que depositam tanto ovos como girinos em corpos d'água principais. Portanto, sugerimos que os diferentes modos reprodutivos refletem em diferenças na evolução do nicho climático nas espécies da subfamília Hylinae.

Full textThe semiarid rivers present two patterns: the intermittent and the irregular one, with a single flowing off period per year, during the rainy season. In these rivers, the natural hydrological disturb acts as an important factor driving the organization of the system, in which feeding interactions are complex and modified by seasonality and system productiveness. Fishes often feed on autochthonous or allochthonous resources, with their diets varying according to the with seasonal variation of food availability. The hypothesis of this the present study is that in the semiarid river herbivorous/onivorous fish species present trophic resources partitioning. The major aim of this study the present investigation is was to determine the trophic resources partitioning for four species of fishes at in the Curu River. Field work collections were carried out throughout the rainy season, at the Curu River, in Pentecoste city town, in Cearà state. The stomach content of 197 individuals of the species Astyanax bimaculatus (27), Astyanax fasciatus (79), Poecilia vivipara (90) e Hypostomus jaguribensis (1) was analyzed through the volumetric method in order to obtain for the frequency of each feeding item, so that the Index of Alimentary Importance (IAi) could have been measured. The morphometric data were used to obtain the intestinal quotient (IQ), the niche breadth estimated for the Levinsâ index and the trophic overlap for the Piankaâs index. Patterns of trophic niche overlap were calculated and statistically tested against a null model using the randomization algorithms RA3 and RA4. A. bimaculatus and A. fasciatus fed on 13 and 15 items, respectively. Both species presented feeding preferences for the filamentous algae Spirogyra sp., encompassing 89.34% and 96.86% of their diets, respectively. Poecilia viviparaâs diet comprised 60 items, mainly made up of algae (Bacillariophyta - 28.82%, Chlorophyta - 23.17% and Cyanophyta â 5.2%). Amongst the âgreen algaeâ, Spirogyra sp. (12.89%) and the Closterium sp. (8.85%) were the chief principal items eaten. Aquatic insects (39.18%) made up the second most important item. A total of 42 items compounded the diet of H. jaguribensis, which detritus (27,72%), the algae Spyrogira sp. (23.42%) and Compsopogon sp. (19%) were the foremost most important items. The diatom group comprised the most abundant item, with 21 taxa and 16.38% of IAi. According to the intestinal quotient, A. bimaculatus e A. fasciatus showed a typical carnivorous/omnivorous intestine, whereas P. vivipara showed a herbivorous one. The analysis of variance shows that the intestinal quotient varied among species (F = 3.50; d.f = 2; p < 0.05). The niche breadth was greater for P. vivipara (1.32), followed by A. bimaculatus (0.78) and A. fasciatus (0.426). The higher niche overlap occurred within the Astyanax species (0.98). The null model analysis carried out for the total and clustered grouped items indicated that the observed values were always higher than the expected ones for the RA3 and RA4 matrices. In addition, the mean observed variance was higher than the simulated one. The four studied fish species fed mainly on autochthonous items, chiefly on algae. The null models demonstrated that there is a resource partitioning amongst these herbivorous/omnivorous fish species, where competition seems not to be the structuring agent.

Abstract: Aspidosperma pyrifolium Mart. & Zucc. is a species with wide distribution and disjunct, morphological variation and complex taxonomy. In this study, we treated it as a species complex, and used as a model for species delimitation using multiple operational criteria (genetic, morphological and ecological). We consider species as segments of separately evolving metapopulation lineages, since this is a universal concept that diminished the conflicting visions of what is considered species. For this, we performed phylogenetic with concatenated data (ITS and rpl32-trnL) and coalescence analyzes to test the monophyly of the complex and its groups. We developed polymorphic microsatellites for complex A. pyrifolium for evaluated the genetic diversity and structure of five natural population. We analyzed morphology through morphometry, including quantitative characteristics, both vegetative and reproductive. The ecological analyzes included modeling and testing of ecological niche similarity. Our results recovered Aspidosperma pyrifolium complex as monophyletic, with 3 subclades related to geographic regions and specific vegetation, results also corroborated in the species tree. Clade 1 occurs in the Caatinga in Northeast Brazil, clade 2 in the Seasonal Forest patches in the Center-West region of Brazil and clade 3 in the Chaqueana vegetation in Mato Grosso do Sul, Paraguay and Bolivia.
