The differentiation of niches that enables similar species to coexist in a community is called?
The differentiation of niches that enables similar species to coexist in a community called resource partitioning. The sum of the total of a species use of the biotic and abiotic resources in its environment is called the species ecological niche.
Can a habitat only have one niche?
different animals have different niches in their habitats
What is the difference between specialist species and generalist species and give an example of each?
A specialist is a species with a narrow nuche. It survives on a fairly limited diet (e.g. koalas, which feed almost exclusively on certain species of eucalyptus leaves) or is restricted to a particular locality (such as the tuatara of New Zealand, a species found in only a few offshore islands of the country). Generalists are species with much broader niches. They can survive in a wide variety of habitats, or feed on a range of different foods (e.g. the Virginia opossum, or the mouse).
What are facts about niches?
In ecology, a niche is a term describing the relational position of species or population in an ecosystem. It is how an organism makes a living.
How does the idea of niches explain how similar species can coexist with a minimum of competition?
it means that they connect in 1 way or an other! :D
What is generalist species?
A species that can survive in a variety of ecological niches.
Can two species occupy different niches and the same habitat?
Yes. There are different niches in the same habitat.
Is competition between two species reduced when the species have different niches?
True
What leads two species to competition?
an overlap in their niches
What are some positive things on species extinction?
It frees up ecological niches for other species.
The differentiation of niches that enables similar species to coexist in a community is called?
The differentiation of niches that enables similar species to coexist in a community called resource partitioning. The sum of the total of a species use of the biotic and abiotic resources in its environment is called the species ecological niche.
What do the vast species diversity in rain forests indicate?
have many niches
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.
What effects have mass extinctions had on history life?
Mass extinctions have the effect of eliminating a large number of species, which leaves a wide variety of niches open to new species. Whichever species survive the mass extinction quickly evolve into many new forms to fill the empty niches. The Permian-Triassic Extinction Event left niches open to the dinosaurs, and the Cretaceous-Tertiary Extinction eliminated dinosaurs, leaving niches open to mammals.
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.
Can a habitat only have one niche?
different animals have different niches in their habitats
What happened to the ancestor of the honeycreeper when it left the mainland and encountered the diverse niches of Hawaii?
It radiated adaptively into many new species. This is common when a species encounters diverse niches of Island groups. See Darwin's finches.
