9. Kathryn hypothesizes that a species she is studying is occupying a realized niche, not its fundamental niche. How might she test this hypothesis? a. Measure the change in reproductive success when the species is subjected to environmental stress. b. Remove a competitor species to see if the species expands its range c. Study the temperature range and humidity requirements of the species. d. Observe if the niche size changes after the introduction of a similar non-native species.
