If two animals occupied the same niche, they would have to compete for the resource that is gained from that specific niche
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.
interspecific competition
No two species can occupy the same ecological niche at the same time.
In a niche, only a single species can thrive. Competition, among other things, will eventually drive out or kill off the other species.
hi my name is noela. I am in the 5th grade. My teacher just taught us about why two similar species cannot have the same niche. The reason is......................................................................................... Two similar species cannot have the same niche because in order to have the same niche those two species would have to have to be identical. But no to species are identical so no to species can have the same niche. in order for it to be identical those two similar species would have to eat the same food, be eaten by the same predators, they would have to live in the same area, they would have to reproduce in the same ways, they would have to grow under the same temperature etc. etc. -noela They would outcompete each other for access to food and resouces.
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.
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.
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.
True
Not for long. Competition for resources will drive one species out.
Only one will survive
interspecific competition
The habitat is where an organism lives and has many different organisms within it. The niche is the purpose that organism fulfills in that habitat. No two species can occupy the same niche in the same habitat due to competition for that role.
There is massive competition for resources resulting in one of the two species being driven away or made extinct.
No two species can occupy the same ecological niche at the same time.
Massive competition occurs when 2 organisms have the sane niche. The organisms are 2 species.
Possible: 1. may get along 2. one "push" the other out 3. interbred
