What is the realized niche width and how is it defined?

The realized niche width is the actual space that an organism inhabits and the resources it can access as a result of limiting pressures from other species, such as superior competitors. Signup and view all the answers

What determines an organism's ecological niche?

What is the fundamental niche width of an organism and what does it consider?

The fundamental niche width refers to the theoretical range of conditions that an organism could survive and reproduce in without considering interspecific interactions. It exclusively considers limiting biotic and abiotic factors such as appropriate food sources and a suitable climate. Signup and view all the answers

How does the fundamental niche width differ from the realized niche width?

The fundamental niche width often differs from the realized niche width, which is the actual areas inhabited by a given species. Signup and view all the answers

What factors set the width of an organism's niche?

The width of an organism's niche is set by the range of conditions a species is able to survive in a specific environment, considering biotic and abiotic factors. Signup and view all the answers
