How The Concept Of Niche Accounts For Distribution And Abundance Of Organisms Of A Habitat?
Posted on June 4, 2011.
niche is a fancy way of saying an animals specalisation.
For example a cow will not be found in the forest or in a cave. A cow is a grass eater and there it’s distribution is mainly on grasslands.
A bat is a nocturnal animal and needs shelter in a dark room for the day.
Now abundance again an apex predator like lions have a very broad distribution in a habitat more so then cows and bats. But if there would be more tigers then prey then ecosystem would collapse so abundance is low.
A insect has also a very large habitat if you count them as species that is. Because they rely on rotting organic matter as substance there abundance is great.
