Habitats And Niches In Ecology And The Galapagos Islands

The video from MooMooMath and Science explains the concepts of habitat and niche in ecology. A habitat is where a plant or animal lives, providing food, shelter, and mates. A niche is the role an individual plays in its environment, including its diet and interactions. The teacher uses personal examples and the Galapagos finches to illustrate these concepts. Each finch species has a unique niche that allows them to coexist in the same habitat. The video concludes with a call to subscribe and share.
