What are three possible long-term consequences of two species occupying the same niche?

Biology

Answer:

  • one will become extinct
  • one/both will adapt
  • one will migrate to a new location

Explanation:

An ecological niche is the role species has in its environment. This includes how it survives, reproduces, finds shelter, and obtains good. It includes all its interactions with both biotic (living) and abiotic (non-living) factors.

When species occupy the same niche, it means they are competing for the same resources. This is not sustainable. Eventually, one of three things are likely to happen:

  • one species will die out (become extinct) because they are being outcompeted by the more successful species, and will struggle to survive without adequate food and shelter
  • either one or both species will have to adapt to occupy another similar niche by, for example, exploiting a new food source in the area.
  • either one or both species will have to migrate to a new area to occupy a different geographical area and new resources.

The species that is being excluded from the niche can either adapt in the long term to occupy another similar niche, migrate to a new area, or it can die out.

Why are ganymede and callisto geologically dead while the other two galilean moons of jupiter are active?
kvasek [131]

Ganymede & Callisto are low-density moons with a mixture of ice and rock. They are farther from Jupiter and are geologically dead.

The four largest moons of Jupiter, Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto, are known as the Galilean moons or Galilean satellites. Galileo Galilei initially observed them in December 1609 or January 1610, and in March 1610, he identified them as Jupiter satellites. They were the first discovered extraterrestrial objects orbiting a planet other than the Earth.
