Question
what happens when two species compete for the same niche? one is excluded they hybridize they merge they reproduce more
According to the competitive - exclusion principle, when two species compete for exactly the same niche, one species will out - compete the other, leading to the exclusion of the less competitive species. Hybridization occurs between species that can interbreed and is not a typical outcome of niche competition. Merging of species is not a common result of niche competition, and there is no reason to assume they will reproduce more just due to niche competition.
