Competition.
But more to the point it depends on the species.
The Lokta-Volterra equations can be used to produce isoclines that show the expected result but in simpler terms it depends on how well each reproduces and who was there first. Sometimes either species will "win" and force the other out and other times they may find equilibrium where both coexist.
On longer timescales the first species that gets the opportunity will generally evolve into a different niche will often take it and move out of the overlap.
What else can I help you with?
What leads to competiton between two species?
Competition between two species can be triggered by factors such as limited resources like food, space, or nesting sites. When these resources are scarce, both species may fight for them, leading to competition. Additionally, overlapping habitats or similar ecological niches can also drive competition between species.
Can two species occupy different niches and the same habitat?
Yes, two species can occupy different niches within the same habitat as long as they have distinct roles and resources they utilize. This is known as niche differentiation, which allows species to minimize competition and coexist in the same environment.
What is niche compression?
Niche compression refers to a phenomenon in ecology where the niches of different species overlap or shrink due to competition for limited resources. This can lead to reduced diversity within a community as species are forced to occupy more similar ecological niches. Niche compression can result in increased competition and potentially lead to the extinction of some species.
Resource partitioning would be most likely to occur between?
Competing species that share similar ecological niches and resources. By partitioning resources, such as food, space, or time, these species can coexist by reducing direct competition and allowing each species to specialize in utilizing different resources. This can help to minimize competition and promote species diversity within a community.
Why are niches important to community structure?
Niches are important to community structure because they refer to the specific roles or functions that different species have within an ecosystem. By occupying different niches, species can coexist without direct competition for resources. This helps to maintain biodiversity and balance within the community.
What leads to competiton between two species?

When these resources are scarce, both species may fight for them, leading to competition. Additionally, overlapping habitats or similar ecological niches can also drive competition between species.
Organisms with overlapping niches probably have which type of relationship?
Likely competition. An organism's niche is the specific environment in which they live and procreate the best (which includes climate, food sources, places to live and escape from predators, etc.). An overlap of two different species niches means that the resources these organisms depend on are now in shorter supply. This means they must compete with the other organisms for survival
What happens when two organisms attempt to occupy the same niches?
COMPETITION competition
What leads two species to competition?
an overlap in their niches
Is competition between two species reduced when the species have different niches?
True
What has most likely caused the realized niches of these two wildflower populations to be smaller than their fundamental niches?
Environmental factors such as competition with other species, limited availability of resources, and biotic interactions could have caused the realized niches of the wildflower populations to be smaller than their fundamental niches. These factors can restrict the distribution of a species and limit its ability to occupy all the suitable habitats within its fundamental niche.
What is an example of interspecific competiton in the coniferous forest?
Inter-specific competition refers to the competition that occurs between different species. An example of this in a coniferous forest would be chipmunks, squirrels, and other animals that eat the pine nuts that pine trees produce.
How does the idea of niches explain how similar species can coexist with a minimum of competition?
it means that they connect in 1 way or an other! :D
Niche overlap initially leads to?
competition for limited resources. This competition can drive natural selection, leading to the divergence of species or the partitioning of resources to reduce competition. Over time, this can result in the development of distinct ecological niches to reduce overlap and promote coexistence.
What three items do evolutionists disagree about?
One is that evolution occurs gradually and consistently.The other is that evolution occurs as a result of competition for 'niches'
Can two species occupy different niches and the same habitat?
Yes, two species can occupy different niches within the same habitat as long as they have distinct roles and resources they utilize. This is known as niche differentiation, which allows species to minimize competition and coexist in the same environment.
What is the niche of the tiger?
To be specific niches exist because competition of biotic and abiotic factors affect the distribution of particular species to a specific niche because it is preferable to live in different niches, it results in less inter-species competition and the less competition there is, means more food, therefore more chance of survival. Niches are what help make eco-systems function so systematicly and perfectly. [that is without human interruption] Every animal has a unique niche. A tigers niche would be specifically where it lives, what it eats and what it contributes to the eco-system it's located.
