This hypothesis posits that a species' ecological niche, or the set of environmental conditions where individuals can survive and reproduce, remains stable over space and time. But is that assumption too simplistic? Modeling Abundance Data Reveals Niche Differences Within Conserved Boundaries Kristin Davis, DSE postdoctoral researcher, is the lead author...
