Little is known about the invasion ecology of <i>N. obtusa</i>, making it difficult to forecast future expansion. Using ecological niche modeling we investigated environmental variables associated with invasion risk. We used species records, climate data, and remotely sensed environmental variables to characterize the species’ multidimensional distribution. We found that <i>N. obtusa</i> is exploiting novel ecological niche space in its introduced range, which may help explain its invasiveness. While the fundamental niche of <i>N. obtusa</i> may be stable, there appears to have been a shift in its realized niche associated with invasion in North America. Large portions of the United States are predicted to constitute highly suitable habitat for <i>N. obtusa</i>. Our results can inform early detection and rapid response efforts targeting <i>N. obtusa</i> and provide testable estimates of the physiological tolerances of this species as a baseline for future empirical research.","AbstractOtherLang":null,"BibLvlCode":"AS","StandardTitle":"Realized niche shift associated with the Eurasian charophyte <i>Nitellopsis obtusa</i> becoming invasive in North America","OrigTitleLangCode":"en","OrigTitleLangCodeExtended":"eng","OrigTitleLangID":15,"DateLastModified":{"date":"2026-06-08 01:31:24.972486","timezone_type":1,"timezone":"+02:00"},"UserAccessRight":null,"UserAccID":null,"AuthorKeywords":null,"OtherDescriptors":null,"Notes":null,"AnaPub":2016,"MonPub":null,"DateUpdate":"2021-09-21","DateCreate":"2021-09-21","SecASFANote":null,"ConfID":null,"PeerRev":1,"VlizCoreFlag":1,"WoScode":"WOS:000378844500001","VABBcode":null,"OpenAcc":1,"DOI":"10.1038/srep29037"},"refs":null,"anarec":{"AnaID":345134,"PubliDate":2016,"Pagination":"29037","XtraPublOfAnaID":null,"ISBN":null,"Volume":"6","Issue":"1","BRefMon":null,"BRefMonRR":null,"BRefXtra":null,"BRefXtraRR":null,"SerBRefID":208093,"SerRR":"Scientific Reports (Nature Publishing Group).
