Can 2 species coexist in the same niche? Why or why not?

In general, one species wins, and one species is eliminated. These experiments gave rise to the competitive exclusion principle: No two species of similar requirements can long occupy the same niche (coexist). In the case of paramecium, the same species always won. Hope This Helps
