In a niche, only a single species can thrive. Competition, among other things, will eventually drive out or kill off the other species.
When two organisms attempt to occupy the same niche, they may compete for resources such as food, water, or shelter. This competition can lead to one species outcompeting the other, leading to a decrease in population size or local extinction. In some cases, the two species may undergo niche differentiation to reduce competition and coexist.
When two organisms occupy the same niche, they compete for the same resources like food, shelter, and mates. This competition can lead to one species outcompeting the other. Over time, one species may adapt to a different niche or evolve specialized traits to reduce direct competition.
If two animals occupied the same niche, they would have to compete for the resource that is gained from that specific niche
Competition occurs when two different species try to occupy the same niche. This can lead to shifts in population sizes or behaviors as individuals strive to access limited resources. Over time, competition can result in adaptation or niche differentiation to reduce direct competition between species.
Not indefinitely. The key to occupying the same niche is resource availability. When two different organisms use the same resource in a simliar way, they can coexist without any problem if population density is low. When more individuals are present and occupy the same niche, competition takes over and whichever organism is the most efficient at obtaining the common resource will outcompete others.
Only one will survive
In an ecosystem, a niche is a very specific role that a species can play in that system. When two species attempt to fulfill this exact same role, their prey becomes much more scarce, and one will eventually force the other out.
It's natural niche.
Massive competition occurs when 2 organisms have the sane niche. The organisms are 2 species.
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.
Massive competition occurs when 2 organisms have the sane niche. The organisms are 2 species.

This idea was first formulated by G. Evelyn Hutchinson, an ecologist who proposed the concept of ecological niche in the 1950s. The competitive exclusion principle, based on this concept, states that two species cannot coexist if they occupy the exact same niche in an ecosystem.
True
According to the competitive exclusion principle, two species cannot continue to occupy the same ecological niche in a community because one will outcompete the other leading to the elimination of the less adapted species.
