Question
Two bird species feed on small invertebrates lodge in bark crevices on the same tree but do not compete for the food resources because of different food preferences and differing locomotor patterns in foraging behaviour. Each of these bird species occupies
Correct Answer
Option B is the correct answer.
Detailed Explanation
The habitat is the physical place where an organism lives (the tree). The niche is an organism's ecological role, including how it gets its food, its interactions, and its activities. Since the birds have different food preferences and foraging behaviors, they occupy different niches. But they live in the same physical location (the tree), so it's the same habitat.
Hint
Remember: Habitat is the 'address', niche is the 'profession'.
