Once a niche is left vacant, other organisms can fill that position. For example, the niche that was left vacant by the extinction of the tarpan has been filled by other animals (in particular a small horse breed, the konik). Also, when plants and animals are introduced into a new environment, they have the potential to occupy or invade the ...
Niche construction can also generate co-evolutionary interactions, as illustrated by the above earthworm, beaver and yeast examples. The development of many organisms, and the recurrence of traits across generations, has been found to depend critically on the construction of developmental environments such as nests by ancestral organisms.

Thus for example in a stable cultural environment, customs of care reflect parental ethnotheories about the child, and they are further supported by the physical and social settings of daily life.
The murine GSC niche in males, also called spermatogonial stem cell (SSC) niche, is located in the basal region of seminiferous tubules in the testes. The seminiferous epithelium is composed of sertoli cells that are in contact with the basement membrane of the tubules, which separates the sertoli cells from the interstitial tissue below.
In architecture, a niche (CanE, UK: / ˈ n iː ʃ / or US: / ˈ n ɪ tʃ /) is a recess or cavity constructed in the thickness of a wall for the reception of decorative objects such as statues, busts, urns, and vases. [1] In Classical architecture examples are an exedra or an apse that has been reduced in size, retaining the half-dome heading ...
A microgenre is a specialized or niche genre. [1] The term has been used since at least the 1970s to describe highly specific subgenres of music, literature, film, and art. [2] In music, examples include the myriad sub-subgenres of heavy metal and electronic music. [3]
