Question

No two species can occupy the same niche in the same habitat at the same time....

Answer 1

a.
because of the interactions that shape the ecosystem
b.
unless the species require different abiotic factors
c.
because of the competitive exclusion principal
d.
unless the species require different biotic factors
e.
because they take up the same space

Answer 2

"
This is the Theory of Competitive Exclusion. The limited resources in an ecosystem must be partitioned between two species in some way otherwise they would be competing "head to head" for all their life's needs, and this would be a serious waste of their energy. Two species can occupy the same niche. Interspecific competition is responsible for the resulting relative abundances (# of each organism) in the community.

Answer 3

"
because of the competitive exclusion principle
"

Answer 4

"
it leads to competition for resources since they are similar or identical because of the same niche
"

Answer 5

thus......

Answer 6

and i'm getting to the answer

Answer 7

dont answer it for me yet

Answer 8

because of competitive exclusion principle, that means that when two species occupy the same niche in a habitat, they compete with each other for the same resources, both abiotic and biotic factors. Since their genome is different, there must be one species that can obtain these resources in a better way than the other. Through natural selection, one species should be driven to extinction, or develop the capability of extending their niche, thus utilizing resources that the other species wouldn't use.

Answer 9

@Abhisar @PRAETORIAN.10 If we are talking high school ecology, one species out competes the other. The out competed one must either find a new niche or die. In upper level ecology, it depends on the two species. A balance may be stuck with one species being dominant and the other not. Meaning we could that the same niche situation with one species making up 25% of the life in the niche and the other 75%, and still have a stable population in each species.

The Lokta-Voltairre equations of predator-prey interactions can be used to calculate (given a set of variables) if one species will die or find a new niche, if a lopsided balance will be struck, or if a even balance will be struck.
