Question by liz the wiz: How can two different species such as the Redwing and Yellowhead in the same habitat have different niches.?
please help me! i need to know.

Answer by colonel_crow
I guess you mean the Red-winged Blackbird and the Yellow-headed Blackbird*…

Red-winged and Yellow-headed Blackbirds set up territories in open marshes. The Redwings arrive earlier in the spring and occupy the entire marsh. When the Yellowheads fly in, they take over the best territories (areas of cattails and other plants in deep water that harbor the richest insect life) and force the Redwings into the shallower, drier, more marginal habitats. The Redwings are able to breed successfully in these areas, however, while the Yellowheads are unable to exploit the less productive sites successfully.

The Yellowheads are bigger, perhaps a result of natural selection favoring the ability to oust Redwings from high-quality areas, perhaps to eat larger seeds in the winter, or perhaps both — or perhaps neither! Many such details remain uncertain, but it is clear that the Redwings have a broader niche than do the Yellowheads. Nevertheless, Yellowheads are better competitors within their own narrow niche, and thus are able to exclude the Redwings from it. Territorial habitat is a scarce resource; the Yellowheads take the richest and the Redwings get the rest.

Question by imrational: If humanity continues to dominate the earth into the far future, will we evolve to fill our ecological niches?
1. Genetic engineering might soon be possible and available to the rich. 2. the longer a stable civilization is in existence, the more specialized it’s citizenry become.

In the distant future, will we see specialized niches of humanity? Either naturally selected by societal pressures or developed through selective genetic engineering?

What will these different castes end up looking like?
Okay, I must have written my question badly. Humanity is dominating the planet in that we are a large mammal and we are eliminating other large species with great efficiency. I understand and agree that bacteria, molds, insects outweigh us.

By natural selection for societal pressures, I’m looking at “beautiful” people that tend to breed with other “beautiful” people; that People tend to breed according to social-economic class; etc. I’m referring to natural selection based on memes and not the physical environment.

So, let’s try it this way. If humanity continues to exist into the distant future and genetic engineering becomes available to the rich, will we eventually see humanity divurging into different species, so some can fill the societal/ecological niches that are vacant? What will humanity look like in the future?

I personally do not believe in evolution, i believe in creation.
however i do believe in adaption of a species, so who knows what the future will hold.

Question by Me<3JB: What kinds of niches and habitats do you think bacteria might occupy in the ecosystem?
just wondering

Best answer:

Answer by SmartAleck
Bacteria have been found in every conceivable habitat that normally supports life, and some that do not, such as ocean depths and dark tunnels in underground gold mines – living on anything from uraninum to suplphurous compounds, sometimes with anaerobic environments.
They live inside people also!

Question by jarica: How are niches formed at the bottom of sandstones?

Best answer:

Answer by njdevil
Through evolution. If there is an unoccupied niche some type of organism will evolve over time to fill that niche and use whatever resources it gives.
