3. The specific timing or daily schedule of activity that separates closely related species.
8. Competition for resources that occurs between individuals of entirely different species.
10. An interspecific interaction where one organism lives on or inside a host, causing harm.
11. The actual environmental conditions and resources an organism utilizes due to limiting factors.
12. The non-living chemical and physical parts of an environment that shape an organism's niche.Biotic The living biological components and interactions that restrict an organism to its realized niche.
15. An organism with a broad niche that can thrive across varying environmental conditions.
17. An organism that exerts strong control on community structure relative to its biomas
18. Competition for resources that occurs between individuals of the exact same species.
19. The division of limited resources by species to avoid direct competition within a niche.

1. A disease-causing microorganism that acts as a biotic factor limiting a population's niche.
2. The principle that two species cannot occupy the exact same niche if resources are limited.
4. An interspecific interaction within a niche where both participating species receive clear benefits.
5. The physical place or geographic location where an organism naturally lives and grows.
6. The full potential range of environmental conditions and resources an organism could theoretically occupy.
7. A consumer interaction where animals feed on producers, affecting plant distribution and abundance.
9. A consumer interaction where a predator kills and eats prey, regulating prey populations.
13. The physical area or microhabitat within an ecosystem that a specific species occupies.
14. The specific functional role and position an organism occupies within its environmental community.
16. An organism with a narrow niche that requires highly specific resources to survive.
