A fundamental niche is the theoretical role, place, or function that a species has within its ecosystem, such as trophic position, life history, habitat, and geographical range. This niche can be filled or not by the species, but it is assigned to it. Realized niche is the role that the species fills in reality, and is often narrower than the fundamental niche.

The niche of an animal is all the conditions it can tolerate and where it lives. There are two types of niches. A broad and narrow niche.

What happened in connell's experiment with the above barnacles?
He removed the lower barnacles who had already reached their fundamental niche. This lead the upper barnacles (the less competitive) who had not reached their full fundamental niche to spread out and moved down. Since the more competitive barnacles had been removed the less competitive barnacles could reach their Full fundamental niche, not just a subset of their fundamental niche. This lead to the conclusion that "interspecific competition is important in structuring communities."From your friendly DISPers.
