Diversity is the number of different role players (species) in an area. I like to think of diversity in the form of niches. The number of niches being filled in an ecosystem is directly related to the diversity.
Organisms differ because their DNA differs from one species to another, and from one member of each species to another. Organisms differ because according to 'Darwinian science' creatures evolve to fill niches of ecological web. In other words, when species evolve it is to become better adapted to their environment, have a greater aptitude at surviving and then feed on what used to be its predators- who in turn adapt to survive. As this system progresses entropy increases causing an ever increasing diversity of life-forms.
Adaptive raidation is where you have lots of related species in a range of habitats. You often find adaptive raidation on islands or isolated places where you often have an odd mix of organisms eg there are many genera or families missing that you would normally expect....as a result there are often many niches in the environment that are not exploited by these so called "missing" species and so a genus may radiate to adapt and fill these niches.....the original species would have been very much like a finch you would expect on the mainland, but with varied niches and having different food sources available...oh the other major thing would have been compeition for food resources from other finches.....those that had the ability or traits to go for other ( untapped) food sources like harder/larger nuts etc would have survived better
Conditions that could make a new island a likely place for adaptive radiation would include being near a mainland so organisms can migrate as well as geographic isolation which prevents the splinter populations from breeding with the parent population on the mainland.
Food is part of an organism's niche because it is what is broken down to given an organism energy.

Yes. There are different niches in the same habitat.
different animals have different niches in their habitats
The key roles or niches that organisms fill in their habitat are producers, primary and secondary consumers (herbivores, carnivores and omnivores), predators, prey, scavengers and decomposers.
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.

An ecological niche is the role that an organism plays in its environment, included in that is it habitat and the interactions it has with other organisms in that environment.
Niches within habitats are where organisms live. Organisms claim certain parts of their homelands in order to find their eating, exercising, mating, and resting needs met.
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
missplaced niches and several but they try to adapt to each other

There niche is how they survive and habitat is were it lives.
