Detailed explanation-1: -The competitive exclusion principle says that two species can’t coexist if they occupy exactly the same niche (competing for identical resources). Two species whose niches overlap may evolve by natural selection to have more distinct niches, resulting in resource partitioning.
Detailed explanation-2: -Population: A group of organisms of the same species, living in the same area at the same time.
Detailed explanation-3: -The competitive exclusion principle states that two species cannot occupy the exact same niche in a habitat. In other words, different species cannot coexist in a community if they are competing for all the same resources.
Detailed explanation-4: -No two species can have the exact same niche, otherwise they would be in direct competition for resources with one another. If this occurs, then one species will outcompete the other. If the losing species then does not adapt, it would lead to its extinction.
