  2. Ecological niche - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecological_niche

    Hutchinson used the idea of competition for resources as the primary mechanism driving ecology, but overemphasis upon this focus has proved to be a handicap for the niche concept. [20] In particular, overemphasis upon a species' dependence upon resources has led to too little emphasis upon the effects of organisms on their environment, for ...

  3. Hutchinson's rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hutchinson's_rule

    Hutchinson concluded that this size ratio could be used as an indicator of the kind of difference necessary to permit two species to co-occur in different niches but at the same level of the food web. [3] The rule's legitimacy has been questioned, as other categories of objects also exhibit size ratios of roughly 1.3.

  6. Vacant niche - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vacant_niche

    If one defines a niche as a property of a species, then a niche does not exist if no species is present. In other words, the term appears "illogical". However, some authors who have contributed most to the formulation of the modern niche concept (Hutchinson, Elton) apparently saw no difficulties in using the term.
