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.
