Mammal niches are not conserved over continental scales

2025-01-22

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Summary paragraph</h4> The niche conservatism hypothesis states that a species’ relationships to habitat and climate conditions are maintained across space and time 1–6 . Niche stationarity is assumed when ecologists estimate species’ habitat needs or transfer findings across geographic regions 7,8 . Recent studies show that some species’ associations with climate and habitat vary spatially, contradicting t...
