Niche Overlap is when two species compete for the same limiting resource, therefore they overlap and develop similar traits.

An organisms role or job in its environment is known as?
Niche (did a quiz with this so i know its right) ;D
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 niche compression?
niche shift
What is a niche in the community?
A niche is the rank or position of a species in a community.A niche is functional position of an organism eg. producer , herbivore or carnivore etc.the way in which an organism lives in its environment is called niche
Whats a niche?
A niche is a role an organism plays in the environment. NO TWO ORGANISMS CAN HAVE THE SAME NICHE!!!
How do you reduce niche overlap in animals?
There are various ways to reduce niche overlap in animals. You should start by ensuring that animals access sufficient resources so that they do not compete for the same resources.
Niche overlap initially leads to?
competition
Can 2 niches overlap the same niche successfully?
no two species can share the same niche
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.
What does niche mean biology?
role and position a species has in its environment.............. important to reduce competition of food
If an overlap develops between the ranges of two closely related species and if the species occupy the same niche in the zone of overlap what will probably happen in the zone of overlap?
Most commonly one species will push the other out of the overlap but under some circumstances their populations balance against each other and the will coexist. Some relationships are very stable with even population declines eventually rebounding to a particular point but in others a small shift in population sizes can lead to one species displacing the other.
Why is it important not to overlap previous streaks in each sector of the petri dish when carrying out a streak plate?
When streaking a plate, you are really trying to reduce the number as you go along. If you overlap, you will pickup more. What you want finally, is one or two separate colonies.

What does niche mean in science?
An organism's niche refers to its ecological role and how it uses abiotic and biotic resources. This depends on the organism's habitat, its feeding activities and its interaction with other organisms.
What will two species with a high degree of niche overlap do?
Mostly they will get along together, depending upon the species. Other wise they will not get along. Lions and Hyenas get along more or less, but do squabble. But cattle and lions or hyena do not get along, even though they occupy the same niche. By definition, carnivores must occupy some one else's niche. But in a field, cattle, horses and sheep will coexist happily. Birds by and large do not seem to have this coexistence philosophy.
