The key roles or niches that organisms fill in their habitat are producers, primary and secondary consumers (herbivores, carnivores and omnivores), predators, prey, scavengers and decomposers.

What is the mapple trees niche?

Maple trees fill a variety of niches in their ecosystem. They are often important for providing habitat and food for various animals, such as birds and squirrels. Their shade and leaf litter can also influence understory plant growth and soil health.


The fossil record shows that periods of blank are followed by diversity in organism?

The fossil record shows that periods of extinction are followed by bursts of diversity as new species evolve to fill vacant ecological niches. This pattern is known as adaptive radiation.


What is the Relatively rapid expansion and diversification of life forms into new ecological niches called?

Adaptive radiation is the term used to describe the relatively rapid expansion and diversification of life forms into new ecological niches. This process often occurs when new environments or opportunities become available, leading to the evolution of multiple new species adapted to fill different roles in the ecosystem.


Why are there more inveratbrates on earth than vertabrates?

Faster breeding cycles equate to faster rates of evolution and speciation.Additionally their small size means there are more ecological niches for them to fill.


What is an isolating mechanism and how does it create a situation leading to speciation?

An isolating mechanism is any factor that prevents two populations from interbreeding, leading to reproductive isolation. This can be due to geographical barriers (such as mountains or rivers) or differences in behavior, mating rituals, or habitat preferences. Over time, these isolated populations may accumulate genetic differences, leading to the formation of new species through the process of speciation.

Why has there been a burst of evolution after each of the great mass extinctions?

After a mass extinction, there are many open niches. The surviving organisms quickly begin to take advantage of the open niches. As they do, they evolve into new forms, better adapted to these new, separate niches. Hence, many new species quickly evolve and fill the void.
