Question

The ecological niche of an organism refers to what

Answer 1

In ecology, a niche is a term with a variety of meanings related to the fit of a species living under specific environmental conditions.The ecological niche describes how an organism or population responds to the distribution of resources and competitors (for example, by growing when resources are abundant, and when predators, parasites and pathogens are scarce) and how it in turn alters those same factors (for example, limiting access to resources by other organisms, acting as a food source for predators and a consumer of prey).
