I suggest that the term »requirement niche« be used to describe requirements (most closely corresponding to Hutchinson's definition) and that the term »impact niche« be used to describe the per capita effects of species on their environments (corresponding to Elton's »roles«). The two aspects combine to form the »total niche« in its broadest sense.Leibold, M.A. (1995). The niche concept revisited: mechanistic models and community context. Ecology 76, 1371-1382: 1380.
