What happens when two species occupy the exact same niche

Biology
1 answer:
katrin2010 [14]3 years ago
6 0

When two species occupy the exact same niche, there will be competition. There is usually a set amount of resources in an ecosystem, so when two species need the same resources, or occupy the same niche, there will eventually be competition.

Competition will lead to one of the species outcompeting the other one. Although this may be a long process, the more resources one of the species obtains, the more they will reproduce.

This is the exact opposite for the other species, they cannot obtain resources due to the other species, so they will start to die off.

Due to both the competition of resources and the lack of reproducing, the species that cannot obtain their niche likely will die off completely or become very scarce.

What are the parts of animal and find their function. ​
REY [17]

Answer:

<h2>⚪parts of animals are:</h2>

tail,claws,wings, beak ,fur , fins, she'll, feather.

<h2>⚪function of animal parts</h2>

<h3>tail:</h3>

Many land animals use their tails to brush away flies and other biting insects. Some species, including cats and kangaroos, use their tails for balance; and some, such as monkeys and opossums, have what are known as prehensile tails, which are adapted to allow them to grasp tree branches.

<h3>claws:</h3>

Claws may be adapted for scratching, clutching, digging, or climbing. By analogy, the appendages of other lower animals are frequently called claws. The claw's shape is ordinarily suited to the food-getting habit of the animal.

<h3>wing:</h3>

Wing, in zoology, one of the paired structures by means of which certain animals propel themselves in the air. ... The primary flight feathers on the distal portion of the wing create most of the propelling force in flight, while on the less mobile upper wing the secondaries provide the greater portion of the lift.

<h2>beak:</h2>

All birds have one beak. But it has evolved differently in each species to improve its functions in response to its environment. These functions include feeding themselves and their young, defending themselves, grooming their feathers, mating, regulating their body temperature or building nests.

<h3>fur:</h3>

Fur is a thick growth of hair that covers the skin of many different animals, particularly mammals. ... The fur of mammals has many uses: protection, sensory purposes, waterproofing, and camouflaging, with the primary usage being thermoregulation.

<h3>fins:</h3>

Fins typically function as foils that produce lift or thrust, or provide the ability to steer or stabilize motion while traveling in water, air, or other fluids. ... Fish, and other aquatic animals such as cetaceans, actively propel and steer themselves with pectoral and tail fins

<h3>shell:</h3>

Turtles and tortoises are some of the best-known shell-dwelling creatures. The difference between them is that tortoises live on land while turtles prefer the water

<h3>feather:</h3>

Feather Function: What do feathers do? Each feather on a bird's body is a finely tuned structure that serves an important role in the bird's activities. Feathers allow birds to fly, but they also help them show off, blend in, stay warm, and keep dry.
