A niche includes more than what an organism eats or where it lives. prymockim686 https://padlet.com/prymockim686/z81cc70jlj64y4na/wish/1873818908 2021-11-08 02:22:40 UTC https://padlet.com/prymockim686/z81cc70jlj64y4na/wish/1873818908 The dung beetle consumes dung both in larval and adult form. Dung beetles store dung balls in burrows, and females lay eggs within them. This allows hatched larvae immediate access to food. prymockim686 https://padlet.com/prymockim686/z81cc70jlj64y4na/wish/1873827642 2021-11-08 02:26:35 UTC https://padlet.com/prymockim686/z81cc70jlj64y4na/wish/1873827642 a garden spider is a predator that hunts for prey among plants, while an oak tree grows to dominate a forest canopy, turning sunlight into food. prymockim686 https://padlet.com/prymockim686/z81cc70jlj64y4na/wish/1873834816 2021-11-08 02:29:49 UTC https://padlet.com/prymockim686/z81cc70jlj64y4na/wish/1873834816 Pairs may show courtship behaviors such as grooming each other, playing and wrestling, chasing each other or bumping and hip pushing each other. prymockim686 https://padlet.com/prymockim686/z81cc70jlj64y4na/wish/1873842912 2021-11-08 02:33:19 UTC https://padlet.com/prymockim686/z81cc70jlj64y4na/wish/1873842912 Many animals use chemical communication or pheromones to communicate.
