The English word 'Niche' has two distinct uses — one in biology/ecology, and one in everyday/business language. Both are important to understand.
In ecology, the 'Competitive Exclusion Principle' states that two species competing for exactly the same ecological niche cannot coexist — one will outcompete and eliminate the other.
