What is a Pandas fundamental and realized niche?

Pandas Fundamental Versus Realized Niche

Could an organism's realized niche be larger than its fundamental niche?

No. The fundemental niche is the largest possible niche a population can exist in. If the realized niche becomes larger so does the fundemental niche

What is one difference between a fundamental niche and a realized niche?

Fundamental niche is the natural habitat of a species, where it can easily get food for its energy requirements, and can mate and reproduce without the fear of predators Realized niche is the environment that a species finally gets because of many limiting factors Read more: http://www.differencebetween.com/difference-between-fundamental-and-vs-realized-niche/#ixzz2DcWgiYIl

What is a realized niche?

Do you mean, Realized niche? if so, The part of fundamental niche that an organism occupies as a result of limiting factors present in its habitat, The presence of competing species in an environment is one example of a limiting factor that restrains or narrows an organism's ecological niche. In a realized niche, the organism tends to occupy and play an ecological role where it is mostly highly adapted.

In the face of competition an organism may occupy only part of its fundamental niche That part is called its?

realized niche

What is a fundamental niche?

A fundamental niche is the theoretical role, place, or function that a species has within its ecosystem, such as trophic position, life history, habitat, and geographical range. This niche can be filled or not by the species, but it is assigned to it. Realized niche is the role that the species fills in reality, and is often narrower than the fundamental niche.

How might an ecologist test whether a species is occupying its realized or its fundamental niche?

Remove a competitor species to see if the species expands its range.

What niche do human beings fill on earth?

What is the niche of humans?Humans also have fundamental and realized niches. Like other species, the fundamental niche of humans is bounded by their biological tolerance of extremes of environmentalconditions.However, unlike other species humans have developed an extraordinary ability to utilize technology to mitigate extremes of environmental conditions, allowing survival in otherwise inhospitable places. In this sense, humans have utilized technological innovations to greatly expand the boundaries of their realized niche. Humans can now sustain themselves in Antarctica, on mountain tops, in the driest deserts, in phenomenal densities in cities, and even in spacecraft.Humans have also expanded the dimensions of their realized niche by managing the intensity of their interactions with other species. Humans control their own competitors, predators, parasites, and diseases, thereby reducing the constraints that these biological stressors exert on the realized, human niche. Humans also manage the ecological constraints of their mutualistic plants and animals such as agricultural cows, pigs, chickens, and plant crops.The phenomenal expansion of their realized niche has allowed a great increase in the abundance of humans. For most of their evolutionary history, humans engaged in a hunting and gathering lifestyle, and their global population was probably a few million individuals. The first significant expansions of the realized human niche involved the domestication of fire and the development of primitive tools and agricultural methods, all of which allowed populations to increase. During the past several centuries of extraordinary technological development, populations of humans have grown especially quickly, and in 1995 almost six billion people were alive on Earth. This growth has been accomplished through expansion of the realized niche of industrial humans.However, it must be understood that the remarkable technological expansions of the realized niche of humans require large and continual subsidies of energy, food, and other resources. These are needed in order to maintain the colonization of difficult environments and to continue the control of constraining ecological influences. If access to these resources is somehow diminished, then the ability of humans to colonize and manage their environment is diminished as well, or it collapses

What are two different niches in a savanna habitat?

one niche is that lions eat zebras and zebras eat grass OR zebras drink water; a niche is like a role in a play; its the animals role in the eco system
