Through the human introduction of invasive species and forced migration of various species such as pack mules, elk, and hog-nosed skunks into the Kaibab squirrels’ habitat, scientists hypothesize two outcomes that might occur to the squirrel population. Examine the following null hypotheses formulated to explain rates of speciation and extinction of the Kaibab squirrel population as an influx of species continues to migrate into their niche. Null Hypothesis: The rate of speciation (C) remains steady when species compete for available resources while all will continue toward extinction (B). Which of the following graphically depicts the alternative hypotheses?
