What is a fundamental niche?
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.
What is a realized niche?
Do you mean, Realized niche? if so, The part of fundamental niche that an organism occupies as a result of limiting factors present in its habitat, The presence of competing species in an environment is one example of a limiting factor that restrains or narrows an organism's ecological niche. In a realized niche, the organism tends to occupy and play an ecological role where it is mostly highly adapted.
How do you explain what the niche of a frog is?
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. An animal that has a broad niche can tolerate more conditions rather than an animal that has a narrow niche. An example of an animal that has a broad niche is an opposum. An example of an animal that has a narrow niche is a panda bear. A frog generally tends to have a broad niche. It can live in areas that have little water sources to areas that have a vast region as water sources.

What is one difference between a fundamental niche and a realized niche?
Fundamental niche is the natural habitat of a species, where it can easily get food for its energy requirements, and can mate and reproduce without the fear of predators Realized niche is the environment that a species finally gets because of many limiting factors Read more: http://www.differencebetween.com/difference-between-fundamental-and-vs-realized-niche/#ixzz2DcWgiYIl

Could an organism's realized niche be larger than its fundamental niche?
No. The fundemental niche is the largest possible niche a population can exist in. If the realized niche becomes larger so does the fundemental 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.
