do various species live in a habitat or just one same species?

Answer 1

Many species make up a habitat.

Answer 2

Various, but an alternate use can be used to describe the area where a single species wants to live. It won't cover what else lives in the area, only that one species. No plant or animal lives alone in a habitat.

A habitat is a region where a variety of species live. Rarely do only one species live in a habitat. In hostile conditions, like near a volcano, the selection of species may be small, but there is almost never almost one species in a habitat.

According to Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Habitat
"Habitat (which is Latin for "it inhabits") is the spatial area where a particular species lives. It is essentially the natural environment in which an organism lives—at least the physical environment—that surrounds (influences and is utilized by) a species population.[citation needed] We use "species population" instead of "organism" here because, while it is possible to describe the habitat of a single black bear, we generally may not find any particular or individual bear, but the grouping of bears that comprise a breeding population and occupy a certain geographical area. Further, this habitat could be somewhat different from the habitat of another group or population of black bears living elsewhere. Thus, it is neither the species, nor the individual, for which the term habitat is typically used. A microhabitat or microenvironment is the immediate surroundings and other physical factors of an individual plant or animal within its habitat.

However, the term "habitat" can be used more broadly in ecology. It was originally defined as the physical conditions that surround a species, or species population, or assemblage of species, or community (Clements and Shelford, 1939). Thus, it is not just a species population that has a habitat, but an assemblage of many species, living together in the same place that essentially share a habitat. Ecologists would regard the habitat shared by many species to be a biotope.

Habitat destruction is a major factor in causing a species population to decrease, eventually leading to its being endangered, or even to its extinction.

A biome is the set of flora and fauna which live in a habitat and occupy a certain geography."

Another words a habitat can be used to describe where one species can live, or where a lot of species can live, but no species lives in isolation so no species is alone in its habitat.

Answer 3

A habitat is by definition the place where a certain species lives, but more than one species can have that same habitat. They sometimes occupy different ecological niches, meaning very specific foods or nesting places within a habitat, but sometimes they have the same needs, and that's where competition arises. For example, red and gray squirrels can live in the same area of woods, and compete for the same foods.

Answer 4

One species has a niche within a habitat. Take for example the Dragonhunter (Hagenius brevistylus) (a BIG dragonfly). Its habitat is large creeks, and rivers with forested banks. Its niche feeding on large insetcs (Butterflies, other dragonflies, ect) where as Ebony Jewel Wing's (Clapteryx maculata) (a Damselfly which can live in the same area) niche is feeding on small insects like mosquitoes.
Many other species and MANY MANY more types of animals live in the large steam, river habitat. Otters, fish, mink, wadeing birds, waterfoul, reptiles, amphibians jsut to name a few other groups.
