Two barnacle species, Chthamalus and Balanus, live in intertidal habitat. Two distributions are shown, (A) is shown by dashed lines and (B) is
shown with solid lines. Which of the following statements is correct?
High tide
Chthamalus
Balanus
B.
O a
The distributions shown by the solid lines (B) indicate where Chthamalus and Balanus exist in the absence of competition
O b
The distributions shown by the dashed lines (A) indicates where Chthamalus and Balanus exist in the presence of competition
Balanus has a smaller distribution in the presence of competition because it is a poorer competitor in the high intertidal zone
O d
Chthamalus has a smaller distribution in the presence of competition because it is a poorer competitor in the low intertidal zone
