What happens to species that attemp to occupy the same niche?
When species attempt to occupy the same niche, competition ensues, leading to one species outcompeting the other, evolving to occupy a different niche, or both coexisting through niche differentiation. Over time, this competition can drive evolutionary changes, such as adaptations to utilize different resources or change in behavior to reduce competition.
How many organisms can occupy the same niche?
In theory, multiple organisms can occupy the same niche through resource partitioning, where each species uses different resources or occupies a different part of the niche. However, intense competition may limit the number of species that can coexist in a specific niche in reality.
What are some advantages of a narrow niche?
Competition; "because of competition, organisms may not be able to occupy the entire niche they are theoretically capable of using" The Living World - Johnson
