Which of the following statements about the concept of ecological niche is correct? A species' realized niche, may or may not be the same as its fundamental niche The fundamental niche of a species includes biotic and abiotic factors while the realized niche only includes biotic factors A species' fundamental niche is always smaller than its realized niche A niche is the same as a habitat
1) Which of the following defines the niche of a species? The role of a species in its community as well as the conditions it requires and the interactions it takes part in All populations of all species in some area The type of environment in which a species lives The number of species and their relative abundance within a community 2) Which of the following is an example of a biological factor that can affect community structure?

A(n) community is a group of species that occupy the same area. When studying the diversity of a group of species, ecologists use two measures: One is a count of the total number of species in the area, which is called The other is a measure of how common the species are, compared to each other, which is called
