Hutchinson proposed the idea of the fundamental niche, determined by physiological properties of a species, more than 50 years ago. The idea remains both central to ecological thinking and largely unexplored experimentally. In this note, we describe some problems of using physiological experiments databases to estimate fundamental niches, show some solutions, and the apply our solution to testing the prediction that fundamental niches contain realized niches, for some species of marine fishes and terrestrial beetles. Our results were concordant with Hutchinsons predictions.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
