What is a niche of a species?
the role of a species within its habitat
What does a species role take into account?
biotic interactions and abiotic interactions
What is the fundamental niche of a species?
the full range of conditions and resources in which a species could survive and reproduce, based on its adaptations and tolerance limits
What is a realised niche?
the actual conditions and resources in which a species exists, due to biotic interactions
Why can only one species occupy a specific niche?
each species has a unique niche; if two species try to occupy the same niche, they compete for the same resources.
What happens if two species try to occupy the same niche?
one species will outcompete the other, forcing the second species to either adapt to a new niche or become locally extinct.
