Question

What are Ecological Equivalents?

Answer 1

Ecological equivalents:

1. Ecological Equivalents are two species from different taxonomic categories that have adapted to comparable niches and habitats in different places.
2. The ecological equivalency of these creatures is the outcome of convergent evolution, and they are completely unrelated.
3. Owls and cats, for example, both eat mice, yet owls live in deserts or woodlands, whereas cats live near human settlements.
4. In the above example, cats and owls are ecological equivalents in their feeding roles.
