One thing that seems to confuse me about Chapter 7 is the concept of Niche. I don't understand the differences between the two Niche's; Fundamental Niche and the Realized Niche. Is one Niche suppose to be more dominate than the other, like the Brown Anole being dominate over the Green anole. I ask because the Brown anole took over parts of florida which the Green anole occupied at first. The green anole were pushed out into the wetlands because the brown are certainly much more bigger, even though they came from Cuba and aren't native to Florida. This is just something that still seems to confuss me and I would be glad if it were to become clear.
