- What is the principle that teaches us that two species cannot coexist in the exact same niche in the same habitat.This is because species with same niches have comparable requirements, which implies they would fight for the same resources.arrow_forwardNOTE: The image you need to see in order to answer this question is attachedA developer owns the property encompassing the three habitats above. By law, one of the habitats must be left intact to satisfy the zoning laws. The developer works with an environmental engineer to choose which of the habitats should be saved. The environmental engineer suggests that Site C should be saved. Which of the following choices best justifies this decision?Responses A) Site C has greater species richness and species evenness than either Site A or Site B. This will promote the maximum sustainability for future generations of animals. B) Site C is tied with Site A for greatest species richness, but unlike Site A, it has representative species from all 3 of the sites within it. C) Site C not only contains the greatest number of species, it also has the greatest genetic diversity within each species. D) Site C has more unique species in it than either Site A or Site Barrow_forwardOf these choices, which best describes an organism's niche? Question 10 options: The set of conditions under which Libeg's law no longer applies The area/conditions where all of its physiological tolerance ranges overlap None of these are even close.

Based on the diagram which non-mobile (sessile) species is the dominant competitor in the intertidal? Which is second? Rank the six non-mobile species from (1) most to (6) least competitively dominant.

- The competitive exclusion principle is best defined as Multiple Choice the competition among individuals of the same species in the same location. the principle that two species that occupy the same niche cannot coexist indefinitely. an interaction between species that enhances the fitness of the exploiting individual while reducing the fitness of the exploited individual. the principle that if an organism allocates energy to one function, such as growth or reproduction, it reduces the amount of energy available to other functions.arrow_forwardQuestion 4 When disturbance is frequent, competition is often less intense. Question 4 options: A) True B) False Question 5 Directional selection on the niche to reduce overlap leads to ___________. (two words) Question 6 In a coevolutionary arms race ____________. A) selection favors equilibrium. B) each adaptation by one species negates selection on the other. C) each adaptation by one species leads to a new adaptation in the other. D) selection is stronger on the predator.arrow_forwardChoose the correct answer for each box: The n-dimensional hypervolume that describes species' physiological tolerance levels to all of its environmental factors is its Select niche, while the conditions under which an organism actually lives is its [Select] # niche.arrow_forward
