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
Can a habitat only have one niche?
different animals have different niches in their habitats
How does mass extinction affect surviving species?
Extreme radiation events of the organisms that survive the mass extinctions as they evolve to occupy the niches abandoned by the organisms going extinct.
What affect do humans have on speciation?
As part of the environment of other organisms humans can have great effects on speciation. Especially adaptive radiation. As we contribute heavily to the extinction of some species other species flow into those open niches and radiate outwards to possible speciation.
Species with narrow niches?
sean has a wide niche.
What are the niches of organisms in a coral reef?
the niches of a coral reef in an organisims are ME DONT KNOW LOL
Is it possible for to organisms to live in the same habitat but have different niches?
yes it is possible
What happens when two organisms attempt to occupy the same niches?
COMPETITION competition
Do organisms of the same species share the same niches?
yes.. just YES!
Is it possible for two organisms to live in the same habitat but have different niches?
yes it is possible
What happen if the niche of two organisms overlap?
If the niches of two organisms overlap it can cause problems. Problems could be competition between the organisms eliminating one of them.
What is the place where organisms live?
Niches within habitats are where organisms live. Organisms claim certain parts of their homelands in order to find their eating, exercising, mating, and resting needs met.
The process in which previously occupied niches within a community are fulfilled by new organisms is called what?
ecological succession
Areas with many different niches will most likely have?
great diversity among the organisms. Hope i helped :D
What are the key roles or niches that organism fill in their habitat?
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 are the niches are?
An ecological niche is the role that an organism plays in its environment, included in that is it habitat and the interactions it has with other organisms in that environment.
Why do overlapping niches led to competition?
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.
