when I have a niche I scratch it! :)

there are many different niche definitions.

Here is what I use in Ecology:

fundamental niche:  the theoretical maximum resources that could be
used by a population.
Realized niche: the actual resources that are used by a population.
there is also a functional niche that comes out of functional ecology.
