| The Grinnellian niche concept embodies the idea that the niche of a species is determined by the [[habitat]] in which it lives and its accompanying [[Behavioral ecology|behavioral adaptations]]. In other words, the niche is the sum of the habitat requirements and behaviors that allow a species to persist and produce offspring. For example, the behavior of the [[California thrasher]] is consistent with the [[chaparral]] habitat it lives in—it breeds and feeds in the underbrush and escapes from its predators by shuffling from underbrush to underbrush. Its 'niche' is defined by the felicitous complementing of the thrasher's behavior and physical traits (camouflaging color, short wings, strong legs) with this habitat.<ref name=Grinnell1917/> | | The Grinnellian niche concept embodies the idea that the niche of a species is determined by the [[habitat]] in which it lives and its accompanying [[Behavioral ecology|behavioral adaptations]].

| 格林尼利亚生态位概念体现了这样一种观点,即一个物种的生态位是由其生活的栖息地及其伴随的行为适应决定的。换句话说,生态位是一个物种赖以生存和繁衍后代的栖息地需求和行为的总和。例如,加利福尼亚短尾叶蝉的行为与其生活的灌木丛栖息地一致ーー它在灌木丛中繁殖和进食,并通过从灌木丛到灌木丛的慢慢移动来逃避捕食者。它的“小生境”被定义为对恐龙行为和身体特征(伪装色、短翅膀、强壮的腿)与栖息地的恰当补充。格林尼利亚生态位可以被描述为“需要”生态位,或者说是一个满足有机体生存环境要求的地区。大多数肉质植物原产于干燥、干旱的地区,如沙漠,需要大量的阳光照射。格林尼利安小生境可以通过非交互(非生物)变量和大尺度的环境条件来定义。在这个小生境类别中感兴趣的变量包括平均温度、降水量、太阳辐射和地形方面,这些变量在空间尺度上已经变得越来越容易获得。大多数文献都集中在人参的生态位构造,往往从气候的角度,以解释分布和丰度。目前关于物种对气候变化反应的预测主要依赖于对物种分布变化的预测环境条件。然而,人们越来越认识到,气候变化也影响物种间的相互作用,从埃尔顿学说的角度来解释这些过程可能是有利的。 | | 格林尼利亚生态位概念体现了这样一种观点,即一个物种的生态位是由其生活的栖息地及其伴随的行为适应决定的。换句话说,生态位是一个物种赖以生存和繁衍后代的栖息地需求和行为的总和。例如,加利福尼亚短尾叶蝉的行为与其生活的灌木丛栖息地一致ーー它在灌木丛中繁殖和进食,并通过从灌木丛到灌木丛的慢慢移动来逃避捕食者。它的“小生境”被定义为对恐龙行为和身体特征(伪装色、短翅膀、强壮的腿)与栖息地的恰当补充。格林尼利亚生态位可以被描述为“需要”生态位,或者说是一个满足有机体生存环境要求的地区。大多数肉质植物原产于干燥、干旱的地区,如沙漠,需要大量的阳光照射。格林尼利安小生境可以通过非交互(非生物)变量和大尺度的环境条件来定义。在这个小生境类别中感兴趣的变量包括平均温度、降水量、太阳辐射和地形方面,这些变量在空间尺度上已经变得越来越容易获得。大多数文献都集中在人参的生态位构造,往往从气候的角度,以解释分布和丰度。目前关于物种对气候变化反应的预测主要依赖于对物种分布变化的预测环境条件。然而,人们越来越认识到,气候变化也影响物种间的相互作用,从埃尔顿学说的角度来解释这些过程可能是有利的。 |

| The [[Species distribution|geographic range]] of a species can be viewed as a spatial reflection of its niche, along with characteristics of the geographic template and the species that influence its potential to colonize. The '''fundamental geographic range''' of a species is the area it occupies in which environmental conditions are favorable, without restriction from barriers to disperse or colonize.<ref name="Biogeography" /> A species will be confined to a its '''realized geographic range''' when confronting biotic interactions or abiotic barriers that limit dispersal, a more narrow subset of its larger fundamental geographic range. | | The [[Species distribution|geographic range]] of a species can be viewed as a spatial reflection of its niche, along with characteristics of the geographic template and the species that influence its potential to colonize.
