What leads competition between two species?
an overlap in their niches
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 the main outcome of competition in ecology?
The main outcome of competition in ecology is the influence it has on species distribution, abundance, and community structure. When species compete for limited resources such as food, space, or light, it can lead to resource partitioning, where species adapt to use different resources or niches to reduce direct competition. This can also result in competitive exclusion, where one species outcompetes another, leading to the decline or local extinction of the less competitive species. Overall, competition drives evolutionary adaptations and shapes ecological interactions within communities.
How can different niches several in the same habitat?
Different niches can exist in the same habitat through resource partitioning, where species evolve to use different resources or occupy different ecological niches within the same habitat. This can help reduce competition by allowing species to coexist by utilizing different food sources, habitats or behaviors. Additionally, species may adapt to different time periods for feeding or other activities, further reducing competition and enabling species to share the same habitat.
When do species compete in an ecosystem?
Since food and other resources are limited, the members of a species must compete with each other to survive. Competition does not always involve direct physical fights between members of a species. Instead, competition is usually indirect.
Is competition between two species reduced when the species have different niches?
True
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.
What leads two species to competition?
an overlap in their niches
What leads competition between two species?
an overlap in their niches
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.
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 would happen if there were no nocturnal animals?
Whole niches would remain unoccupied and so there would be less species diversity, since day time niches are already occupied. Competition would cause many to go extinct, especially between better adapted and less adapted species.
What way leads to competition between two species?
An overlap in their 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.

True or false when non native species enter an ecosystem they usually occupy unfilled niches?
True. Non-native species often fill ecological niches in new ecosystems because they are not in direct competition with native species for resources. This can lead to displacement or extinction of native species.
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
