Big Idea 4-13


A niche is a term that refers to a species's behavior while living under certain conditions in a specific environment. It takes into account the species's behavior to other organisms, the environment itself, its resources, and how the species reacts. A niche can also be considered a barometer for how well or how poorly an organism acts in a certain area. Here, a turtle lives in an aqueous environment by staying mostly in the water portion of the tank. It can stay moist and remain active in the larger portion of the habitat.
