- •
Two measures of niche-breadth were calculated for 44 Zambian macrophyte species.
- •
Species were divided into narrow- and intermediate/broad-niche categories.
- •
These showed significant variation in 6 bio-physico-chemical variables.
- •
Narrow-niche species included a high proportion of Afrotropical endemics.
- •
Niche-breadth predicted species latitudinal range at global and Afrotropical scales.
