How do niches help organisms of different species avoid competition?

If the two do not share the same niche, they will eat different food. That decreases the probability of the species competing for the same type of food.
Also, they will not fight over females because they are a different species.
Animals within a species avoid competition by marking their own territory, and avoiding the territory of others.
Some fishes actually change color as a display of emotion.

Sam Thomas
they can disperse their seeds to different areas using wind or animals to spread them far apart to avoid competition for minerals space and light.

What way leads to competition between two species?
An overlap in their niches
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.
Can two species occupy different niches and the same habitat?
Yes. There are different niches in the same habitat.
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.
Areas with many different niches will most likely have?
great diversity among the organisms. Hope i helped :D
Is competition between two species reduced when the species have different niches?
True
What is the competitve exclusion principal?
Simply put it is the principle that other organisms, sometimes of your own species, are excluded from your niche by competition for the same resources so organisms tend to different resources and then have their own niches were competition is lessened.
What happens when two organisms attempt to occupy the same niches?
COMPETITION competition
How can competition between species influence the niches of both pecies?
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.

Organisms with overlapping niches probably have which type of relationship?
Likely competition. An organism's niche is the specific environment in which they live and procreate the best (which includes climate, food sources, places to live and escape from predators, etc.). An overlap of two different species niches means that the resources these organisms depend on are now in shorter supply. This means they must compete with the other organisms for survival
Can two species occupy different niches and the same habitat?
Yes. There are different niches in the same habitat.
Do organisms of the same species share the same niches?
yes.. just YES!
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 happen if the niche of two organisms overlap?
If the niches of two organisms overlap it can cause problems. Problems could be competition between the organisms eliminating one of them.
