Question

Explain the different types of niche.

Answer 1

Types of niche are:

1. Spatial or habitat niche: It deals with the physical space occupied by the organisms.
2. Multidimensional or hypervolume niche: It considers number of environmental factors (both biotic and abiotic), the resulting space will be a hypervolume; not something that can be perceived by the human mind. This space is called the hypervolume niche. Alternatively, it is the position of an organism in the environmental gradient.
