If two animals occupied the same niche, they would have to compete for the resource that is gained from that specific niche
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.
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.
When two species occupy the exact same niche, competition between them increases as they vie for the same resources. This can lead to one species outcompeting the other, one species evolving to use different resources, or both species coexisting by partitioning resources or developing specialized niches within the broader niche.
Organisms of the same species can occupy slightly different niches within an ecosystem to avoid direct competition. This is known as niche differentiation. However, they generally have overlapping niches as they have similar ecological requirements.
Because a niche is an organisms place in an ecosystem, specific to only that organism and including its job and what is eats or is eaten by. Two different organisms can have similar niches, but they cannot have the exact same one.
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.
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.
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
Not for long. Competition for resources will drive one species out.
Only one will survive
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.
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.
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.
There is massive competition for resources resulting in one of the two species being driven away or made extinct.

Massive competition occurs when 2 organisms have the sane niche. The organisms are 2 species.
