The short answer is that one is always going to be slightly better at that exact niche than the other, and so will drive the competitor to local extinction. In reality, two species in nearly the same niche will often co-occur, but there will be more resources in a very similar niche that will allow for one species to exploit those other resources. Evolution can happen very quickly in these high competition areas (in a matter of a few years, it has been directly measured).

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.
What occurs when different species try to occupy the same niche?
Possible: 1. may get along 2. one "push" the other out 3. interbred
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.
What is reproductive species concepts?
Species are community of populations that are reproductive isolated from other and that occupy a specific niche. Such sister species can live in sympathry.
What happens when two organisms attempt to occupy the same niche-?
Massive competition occurs when 2 organisms have the sane niche. The organisms are 2 species.
What niche does the introduced species not occupy?
It's natural niche.

Does in a particular environment two species can usually occupy the same niche?
True

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 happens when two species occupy at the same exact niche?
Only one will survive
Which occurs of two different species try to occupy the same niche?
interspecific competition
