The BAM Diagram: A Useful Heuristic
A. Townsend Peterson
University of Kansas
Charles Elton – niche as role
in communities
G. Evelyn Hutchinson –
multidimensional ecological niches,
bionomic versus scenopoetic variables

A

M
The A and B Circles
• Physiological
requirements
• Non-reactive variables.
Uncoupled
• Roughly independent of
the interactions
• Low “resolution”
• Biotic requirements and
impacts. Resource
consumption,
interactions,
competitors,
predators...
• Variables interactive,
dynamically coupled
• High resolution
A B
A Useful and Forgotten Distinction of
Hutchinson (1978)
• Scenopoetic variables. Non-
interacting, slowly changing
from a species point of view.
Define conditions
• Bionomic variables. Coupled,
fast changing. Define
regulation
• Hutchinson´s useful
distinction was quickly
forgotten and then
reinvented by Austin, Begon,
Jackson & Overpeck,
Meszena and others.

Demonstration of M Effects
• Clear demonstration of the importance of
dispersal limitation on species’ distributions
• Invasive species – originally confined to a
native distributional area
• Some transport (often human-mediated)
expands M
• Distribution expands accordingly
Abiotic niche

Area presenting
appropriate
combinations of
abiotic and
biotic conditions

distribution)
Actual geographic distribution
(abiotic and biotic conditions fulfilled,
accessible to dispersers)
Aedes albopictus
• Known as the “Asian Tiger
Mosquito”
• Invader; fastest spreading
mosquito in the world
• Aggressive daytime biter
and pest
• Known to transmit
Dengue, La Crosse, St.
Louis, Eastern Equine,
Ross River, Rift Valley, and
West Nile Viruses

Five Goals of Niche Modeling?
1. ESTIMATE THE FUNDAMENTAL NICHE
2. ESTIMATE THE FUNDAMENTAL NICHE
3. ESTIMATE THE FUNDAMENTAL NICHE
4. ESTIMATE THE FUNDAMENTAL NICHE
5. ESTIMATE THE FUNDAMENTAL NICHE
How Would the Fundamental Niche Look?
• In any one dimension, expected to be
unimodal
• In multiple dimensions, expected to be convex
• So, simple models are probably better
• Need to take sampling and incomplete
representation into account carefully

SUMMARY
Assess levels of spatial
autocorrelation in
environmental data,
adjust input point data
accordingly
Estimate ecological
niche (various
algorithms)
Evaluation reality of
model transfer results,
when possible
Transfer to other
situations—time and
space
Project niche
model to
geographic
space
Model calibration,
adjusting parameters to
maximize quality
Collate primary
biodiversity data
documenting
occurrences
Process environmental
layers to be maximally
relevant to distributional
ecology of species in
question
Collate GIS database of
relevant environmental
data layers
Assess BAM scenario for
species in question; avoid
M-limited situations

  • 9. The A and B Circles • Physiological requirements • Non-reactive variables. Uncoupled • Roughly independent of the interactions • Low “resolution” • Biotic requirements and impacts. Resource consumption, interactions, competitors, predators... • Variables interactive, dynamically coupled • High resolution A B
  • 10. A Useful and Forgotten Distinction of Hutchinson (1978) • Scenopoetic variables. Non- interacting, slowly changing from a species point of view. Define conditions • Bionomic variables. Coupled, fast changing. Define regulation • Hutchinson´s useful distinction was quickly forgotten and then reinvented by Austin, Begon, Jackson & Overpeck, Meszena and others.

  • 30. How Would the Fundamental Niche Look? • In any one dimension, expected to be unimodal • In multiple dimensions, expected to be convex • So, simple models are probably better • Need to take sampling and incomplete representation into account carefully
