Competition

Interference

Aggressive interaction for competition

Exploitative

Indirect competition for limited shared resource

What is the outcome on either organism during competition

Negative , both organisms expend energy

Thinning vs Spacing

Spacing is the natural spacing between trees in a forest , Thinning is deliberate removal to reduce competition

Two rodents that eat two different sizes of seeds existing within the same habitat is an example of what term

Guild

Character displacement

Long lasting divergence of an organisms niche when faced with competition

What population is predicted divergence more commonly found in

Sympatric , same area

Ecological niche

Physical and biological conditions needed for species success

Niche coexistence

Niches are different, but overlap

Niche exclusion

Niches are the same, but with small divergence

Fundamental niche

Independent of other species , abiotic factors allowing species success

Realized niche

factors allowing species success in the presence of other species

Predator effects

Imbalaced survival of one species over another caused by the introduction of predation

Similar organisms reside in different areas of their habitat varying by tidal levels, most suitable to their tolerance. What type of niche is this an example of?

Fundamental niche

Similar organisms are confined to different areas of their habitat, tolerable by the species, due to competition that may occur if they deviate. What type of niche is this an example of?

Realized niche
