⦁ With one example, explain how different organisms can occupy the same habitat but different niches
Answers
Answer:n interspecies competition, two species use the same limited resource. Competition has a negative effect on both of the species (-/- interaction).
A species' niche is basically its ecological role, which is defined by the set of conditions, resources, and interactions it needs (or can make use of).
The competitive exclusion principle says that two species can't coexist if they occupy exactly the same niche (competing for identical resources).
Two species whose niches overlap may evolve by natural selection to have more distinct niches, resulting in resource partitioning.

Explanation:
A given habitat may contain many different species, but each species must have a different niche. Two different species cannot occupy the same niche in the same place for very long. ... They would compete with one another for the same food and other resources in the environment.
