Intra- and interspecific niche variation as reconstructed from stable isotopes in two ecologically different Ethiopian Rift Valley lakes KU Leuven
The concept of species niches has enhanced our understanding of community assembly and food web structure in a variety of ecosystem types. Niche‐based species sorting profoundly determines community composition along strong environmental gradients, while interspecific interactions tend to be more important within habitats at local spatial scales. The role of intraspecific niche variation in community assembly and ecosystem functioning has only ...
