Competitive exclusion is most likely to occur between two?
closely related species occupying the same niche.
Can 2 niches overlap the same niche successfully?
no two species can share the same niche
What does niche group mean?
A Niche group is a group that shares the same interest.
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 is the reason that no two similar species an occupy the same niche?
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).
Do marsupials fill the same niche as rodents?
some do. You can find a similar placental mammal for every marsupial animal. Example: Kangaroos fill the same niche as North American deer. etc.
What is the ecological niche of a mammal?
Ecological Niches are much more specific than 'Mammal'. For instance, Bears fill the top predator niche in lots of alpine forest regions; while mice fill a seed-eating small-creature niche in the same ecosystem.
Competitive exclusion is most likely to occur between two?
closely related species occupying the same niche.
What is the principle of competitive exclusion principle?
The principle of competitive exclusion states that two species cannot occupy the same niche. If they do occupy the same niche, competition for food, space and limited resources will occur. Too much competition will occur until the best-adapted species cause the disappearance of the other.
Do mosses and bacteria have the same habitat or the same niche?
no they do not have the same niche but same habitat, so what?
Do gazelles and mule deer have the same niche?
Yes they do have the same niche
Which change is most likely to lead to competition among organisms?
Organisms that fill the same niche in a given ecosystem are most likely to be competitors, since they would need the same resources (example: food). If the ecosystem wasn't rich enough in resources to support both (or more than 2) species that fill the same niche they'd have to compete with each other to survive.
Why do hornets exist?
Hornets evolved from the same common ancestor as wasps, bees, ants and other eusocial insects. They exist because they fill a niche in the environment.
Can 2 niches overlap the same niche successfully?
no two species can share the same niche
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
Whats a niche?
A niche is a role an organism plays in the environment. NO TWO ORGANISMS CAN HAVE THE SAME NICHE!!!
Is a niche the same as a cache?
No..
