Vedclass · Answer

(D) : An ecological niche is the specific part of a habitat occupied by individuals of a species,which is defined by its range of tolerance,range of movement,microclimate,type of food and its availability,shelter,type of predator,and timing of activity.An ecological niche is typically occupied by a single species.Niche overlap occurs when two or more species share one or more limited resources for which they compete.For example,both owls and cats may feed on shrews and mice,leading to a niche overlap because they utilize the same food resource,even if their broader habitats differ.
