Species that occupy different niches are not likely to compete. This is because each of the species will probably eat different things and seek different types of shelters. They will not need each other's resources.

What has most likely caused the realized niches of these two wildflower populations to be smaller than their fundamental niches?

Competition has restricted the ranges of both species.


What would happen if there were no nocturnal animals?

Whole niches would remain unoccupied and so there would be less species diversity, since day time niches are already occupied. Competition would cause many to go extinct, especially between better adapted and less adapted species.


How does the idea of niches explain how similar species can coexist with a minimum of competition?

it means that they connect in 1 way or an other! :D

What is competition in symbiosis?

Competition is what happens when there are two species of similar niches in the same environment and the resources are in supply, whereas symbiosis is the close association between individuals of different species occurring within a whole community.Competitionthe similar the niches of two organisms are, the more intense is the competition when essential resources are in short supply. When resources are in supply, there is no known equal sharing in nature and the two species cannot live long together until one of them can fully utilise an aspect of the resource that is limited.Symbiosiscan be further classified into three groups, Commensalism, Mutualism and Parasitism.


What happens when two organisms attempt to occupy the same niches?

What is the niche of the tiger?

To be specific niches exist because competition of biotic and abiotic factors affect the distribution of particular species to a specific niche because it is preferable to live in different niches, it results in less inter-species competition and the less competition there is, means more food, therefore more chance of survival. Niches are what help make eco-systems function so systematicly and perfectly. [that is without human interruption] Every animal has a unique niche. A tigers niche would be specifically where it lives, what it eats and what it contributes to the eco-system it's located.


Why do overlapping niches led to competition?

Competition. But more to the point it depends on the species. The Lokta-Volterra equations can be used to produce isoclines that show the expected result but in simpler terms it depends on how well each reproduces and who was there first. Sometimes either species will "win" and force the other out and other times they may find equilibrium where both coexist. On longer timescales the first species that gets the opportunity will generally evolve into a different niche will often take it and move out of the overlap.
