Individual niche specialisation in the light of evidence synthesis (D05)

• Subject Area: Ecology and Biodiversity of Animals and Ecosystems, Organismic Interactions
• Term: since 2018
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 316099922

Project D05 uses evidence synthesis approaches to generalize results on individualized niches from within and beyond the NC³. The project will perform specific meta-analyses, many of which in collaboration with other NC³ projects, on topics of individualized niche variation. Furthermore, the project will employ impact synthesis methods to trace the concept of niche construction and how it has influenced contemporary evolutionary ecology. Finally, the project will contribute to methods development and will serve as a data management coordination centre.
