realized niche - ANSWERSdescribes that part of the fundamental niche actually
occupied by the species
fundamental niche - ANSWERSThe full range of environmental conditions and
resources an organism can possibly occupy and use, especially when limiting factors
are absent in its habitat.

organisms produce organic compounds in an ecosystem
Species occur more in the tropics because... - ANSWERStropical species have
specialized niches
A specialized species should occur over... - ANSWERSsmall range of altitudes and
