Habitat theory

Habitat theory explains how individuals or resources tend to be found in specific environments that best suit their needs or characteristics. It suggests that organisms, companies, or even ideas are most likely to thrive where conditions match their requirements, creating a natural association with particular habitats. For example, certain fish prefer coral reefs because they offer food and safety, while other species thrive in different environments. This theory helps us understand patterns of distribution and coexistence, emphasizing the importance of suitable conditions in determining where things live or occur.
