- They can share the same habitat because some animals live in the same houses and they cant share the same niche because their different animals . =) and that's the answer .

∙ 12y agoA habitat is essentially a place to live. A niche includes a habitat but also includes a specific diet or source of nutrients. Two species can live in the same location but eat different things, in which case they occupy a different niche. Green plants do not eat anything, they just absorb nutrients. That is a different niche from an animal species that might live in the same location.

Which occurs of two different species try to occupy the same niche?
interspecific competition
Why can't two species habitat the same niche?
Because a niche is an organisms place in an ecosystem, specific to only that organism and including its job and what is eats or is eaten by. Two different organisms can have similar niches, but they cannot have the exact same one.
What are the characteristics of niche?
what the role is; the job of the species being in its habitat.
Why Two species cannot occupy the same niche?
If two animals occupied the same niche, they would have to compete for the resource that is gained from that specific niche
If human species suffered a population crash what are species that might move in to occupy part of the ecological niche?
Beavers
What principle states that no two species can occupy the same niche in the same habitat at the same time?
The habitat is where an organism lives and has many different organisms within it. The niche is the purpose that organism fulfills in that habitat. No two species can occupy the same niche in the same habitat due to competition for that role.
What happen when two organism occupy same niche?
There is massive competition for resources resulting in one of the two species being driven away or made extinct.
How is a niche different from a habitat?
Niche: an organism's role in the environment. Habitat: specifically where it lives. For example, many organisms maybe have the same habitat (under a log, if we're considering insects), but as long as they occupy different niches, they will not be in competition.
What niche does the introduced species not occupy?
It's natural niche.
Which occurs of two different species try to occupy the same niche?
interspecific competition
If two mouse species tried to occupy the same niche in a meadow?
If 2 mouse species tried to occupy the same niche they would fight. The mice fight to right to occupy the niche. The winner of the fight gets the niche.
How is an organism's habitat different from its niche?
Niche: an organism's role in the environment. Habitat: specifically where it lives. For example, many organisms maybe have the same habitat (under a log, if we're considering insects), but as long as they occupy different niches, they will not be in competition.
According to the competitive exclusion principle two species cannot continue to occupy the same?
Niche. If they occupy the same niche, then they are competing for the same resources. Eventually one species will evolve to be better suited for competition and the other species will become extinct. So it is then said that one species needs to evolve into a slightly different niche in order to end interspecific competition.
How does an organism's niche differ from its habitat?
Niche: an organism's role in the environment. Habitat: specifically where it lives. For example, many organisms maybe have the same habitat (under a log, if we're considering insects), but as long as they occupy different niches, they will not be in competition.
Can a habitat only have one niche?
different animals have different niches in their habitats
What occurs when different species try to occupy the same niche?
Possible: 1. may get along 2. one "push" the other out 3. interbred
How is habitat different from niche?
A habitat is different from a niche is that a habitat is a home where animals live at and a niche is a place where animals could live and have enough food
