Abstract

Niche differentiation and selective constraints are core concepts in biodiversity and evolutionary ecology. This study aims to explore the differential patterns of selective constraints in different niches, in order to reveal the mechanism of niche differentiation and the role of niches in biological communities. By understanding the concept of niche and the basic concepts of selective constraints, one can grasp the differential patterns of selective constraints in different niches. Through case studies and the impact of niche characteristics, the changes in selective constraints under different environmental conditions were elucidated. In addition, the impact of selective constraints on niche differentiation and evolution was also explored, emphasizing the importance of future research. This study aims to deepen the understanding of the diversity and niche differentiation of selective constraints in different niches, and provide scientific basis for biodiversity conservation and ecosystem management.
