An ecological niche is the role that an organism plays within a community
A niche can include an animals general behaviour and where it lives, how it uses available recourses in it’s ecosystem or how it interacts with other members of the community, e.g. predator/prey.
An adaptation is a characteristic that makes an organism well suited to survive.
There’s three types of adaptations: Structural, Functional and Behavioural
A structural adaptation is a feature of an organism's body.
A functional adaptation is a body process that helps the organism survive or reproduce.
A behavioural adaptation is a response made by an organism that helps it to survive or reproduce.
Competition in animals is driven by the need to obtain food, water, mates, and territory
Competition in plants is for light, water, nutrients, soil and space.
There is two types of competition intraspecific and interspecific.
Intraspecific competition is competition between members of the same species. This is the fiercest competition.
Interspecific competition is competition between organisms of different species. Less fierce as they don't require exactly the same resources.
