Primes¶
- Role
- Ecology (non-obvious): A functional role or niche — decomposer, apex predator, primary producer, pollinator — can be filled by different and unrelated species across ecosystems, and convergent evolution repeatedly produces distinct organisms that occupy the same functional slot.
This sourceSidgwick & Jackson. Introduces the functional concept of the ecological niche as "the animal's place in the biotic environment, its relations to food and enemies" — a position in the trophic structure defined by what it does and fillable by whatever organism satisfies its functional requirements, i.e., a role.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Not checked yet. This entry carries no identifier to resolve. It was extracted from the citation as written in the article, normalized, and deduplicated against the rest of the registry.
Does it back the claim? Not recorded. Neither this nor any other of the 2 citations of this work carries a recorded support check.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
