    The “fundamental niche” and “realized niche,” coined by Hutchinson in 1957, are seemingly identical to our “potential niche” and “operational niche”; however, we feel that our terms, which were borrowed in part from Mason and Langenheim (1957), are perhaps more useful, particularly as they are integrated with these authors’ “operational environment” and “potential environment.”
