Key Concepts

Ecological Niche

An ecological niche refers to the role and position a species occupies within its environment, including how it obtains its resources, how it survives, and how it interacts with both the biotic and abiotic components of its ecosystem. It is a broad concept that encompasses all of the environmental factors that influence a species’ existence.

Fundamental Niche

The fundamental niche is the full range of environmental conditions and resources that a species is capable of utilizing in the absence of interactions with other species. It represents the potential mode of existence, defining where a species could live and what it could use under ideal, competition-free conditions.

Realized Niche

The realized niche is the actual range of conditions and resources that a species utilizes in the presence of other species and existing interspecific interactions, such as competition and predation. It is often narrower than the fundamental niche as biotic factors restrict a species’ full potential use of available resources.
