Ecology: Haeckel
“By ecology, we mean the whole science of the relations of the organism to the environment, in the broad sense, all the “conditions of existence.” These are partly organic, partly inorganic in nature; both, as we have shown, are of the greatest significance for the form of organisms, for they force them to become adapted.” E.Haeckel, 1866

The n-dimensional ipervolumetric niche: G. E. Hutchinson
Title:Concluding Remarks Author: G. E. Hutchinson Editor: Cold Spring Harbor Symposia on Quantitative Biology #Competition and Species Coexistence "The fundamental niche of any species will completely define its ecological properties. [...] the fundamental niche may be regarded as a set of points in an abstract n-dimensional N space." The niche is so the result of the combination of the whole phisical, chemical, and biological paramiters (each axis) that allow the species to perpetuate itself.
