Answer 1

Answer:

The niche of a species is the functional role of that species in the community that it belongs to. Species that have narrow niches (have very specific resource requirements) are said to be specialists, while species that have broad niches (able to use a wide array of resources) are known as generalists.

Explanation:

Into the science of Ecology, we can find the difference between the concepts of specialist and generalist species. The second of them describes species whose niches may include a wide variety of atmospheres which implies the adaptation process form them is easier than the first kind, the specialist, who can only survive under a determined area which means also a limited number of sources.
