Question
If Balanus were better able to withstand desiccation, so that it could survive is dry conditions just as well as Chthamalus can, what would happen to the range of
Chthamalus in the intertidal region?
O Chthamalus' range would increase in size and take over the entire intertidal region. Chthamalus and Balanus would coexist within this range.
O Chthamalus' range would increase in size and take over the entire intertidal region. Chthamalus would kick out Balanus from the entire region Balanus would be extirpated from the
area.
O Chthamalus' range would decrease in size. Balanus would kick Chthamalus out of the intertidal region. Chthamalus would be extirpated from the area.
O Nothing would happen to the size of Chthamalus' range, but Balanus and Chthamalus would coexist in the intertidal region.
