Do squirrels and oak trees share the same population community habitat or niche?

Squirrels and oak trees share the same habitat, as both are commonly found in forested areas where oak trees grow. However, they occupy different ecological niches; oak trees are primary producers that provide food and shelter, while squirrels are consumers that rely on acorns and other resources from the trees. This relationship highlights the interdependence between the species, as squirrels help in seed dispersal, which can benefit oak tree regeneration.
