Niche Hypothesis
The Niche Hypothesis, also referred to as the Acoustic Niche Hypothesis or ANH, proposes that the acoustic spectrum is a finite ecological resource and that its use by animals can be considered using the the principles of Ecological niche theory[1].
The ANH proposes that species tend to differentiate their vocalizations to occupy a unique portion of the soundscape in a way that improves species fitness by facilitating better communication between members of a species.
