Niche

It can be translated as "ecological niche". It can refer to the habitat that an organism occupies according to its particular life form, but more generally it often means the role of that organism in a certain biological community, its ecological position. In this view, different species can occupy the same niche in different biological communities if they are in a similar position in the food chain, etc. However, in the same community, only one species can occupy a niche.

niche
Niche

Architectural term. A decorative recess carved into a thick wall. Also called a niche. Used since ancient times in Middle Eastern and European architecture. Usually the base is semicircular in plan and semi-dome shaped at the top, and is generally built at a certain height above the floor. Flower vases and statues are placed on the base for decoration, but some have been used as decorative fountains. There are also some that are not actually recessed into the wall, but are painted with trompe l'oeil.

ニッチ
niche

生態的地位などと訳す。ある生物が特有の生活形態に応じて占有する生息場所をいうこともあるが,むしろより包括的に,ある生物群集のなかでのその生物の役割,生態学的位置づけを意味することが多い。このような見方の場合には,食物連鎖のうえなどで類似の位置にあれば,異なる種でも異なる生物群集内では同じニッチを占めるものがあることになる。ただし同一群集中では,一つのニッチを占めるのは,ただ一つの種のみとされる。
