The two species coexist successfully because they interbreed The two species coexist successfully because each occupies a different niche The two species do not coexist successfully because they compete for food The two species do not coexist successfully because they use different methods of reproduction

The two species coexist successfully because each occupies a different niche.

Explanation:

Two species of birds that are closely related to each other tend to live on the same tree because they occupy different niche. Two different species coexist as they have different food preferences.

Niche of the species can be defined as the the contribution of the species in the ecosystem and different organism contributes differently in the ecosystem.

There are many factors such as distribution, temporal and spatial distribution which can be different for both of the species.

So, the difference in the niche of the species enables them to coexists.
