The total niche an organism is potentially able to occupy within an ecosystem is its fundamental niche. This includes the full range of conditions and resources where the organism can survive and reproduce. In reality, competition and other factors may limit the actual niche that an organism occupies, known as its realized niche.
Compete for resources until one species outcompetes the other or until they partition the resources to reduce competition.
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.
If two animals occupied the same niche, they would have to compete for the resource that is gained from that specific niche
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.
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.
It's natural niche.
realized niche
The total niche an organism is potentially able to occupy within an ecosystem is its fundamental niche. This includes the full range of conditions and resources where the organism can survive and reproduce. In reality, competition and other factors may limit the actual niche that an organism occupies, known as its realized niche.
A fundamental niche is the theoretical role, place, or function that a species has within its ecosystem, such as trophic position, life history, habitat, and geographical range. This niche can be filled or not by the species, but it is assigned to it. Realized niche is the role that the species fills in reality, and is often narrower than the fundamental niche.
