Question

for many generations, a forest has been the home of a single species of bird; these birds primarily eat insects off the forest floor. one year, humans living in the area accidentally introduce a new species of bird to the forest. this new species has the same diet as the existing species. which description predicts what will most likely result from these two species of bird living in the same ecosystem? both bird species cannot occupy the same niche and, therefore, one species will die off. both bird species would share the forest and have plenty of food and resources. one bird species will adapt and feed on different organisms in the forest. the established species will battle the introduced species of bird until death.

Explanation:

According to the competitive - exclusion principle, two species with the same niche cannot co - exist stably in the same ecosystem. Since the new and existing bird species have the same diet and likely the same niche, one species will be out - competed and die off.

Answer:

Both bird species cannot occupy the same niche and, therefore, one species will die off.
