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.
Discuss competition between species, the competitive exclusion principle, and the phenomenon of niche or resource partitioning. How do they compare and/or contrast?
Biologically, what conditions are necessary for stable coexistence of competitors? Describe the major ways that species can adapt to enhance the probability of stable coexistence.

- Explain the Competitive Exclusion Principle. What does it mean, and what are its major ecological consequences?arrow_forwardWhat is the difference between competitive exclusion and resource partitioning?arrow_forwardAccording to the competitive exclusion principle, two species cannot exist together if they occupy the same niche. Either they diverge their niches so they can coexist or one species will die out.All of the following are consistent with the principle of competitive exclusion EXCEPT Select one: a. Birds and bats both consume flying insects, but birds are active in the day and bats are active at night. b. Two species that share the same niche will exclude other competing species. c. Different bird species forage for insects in different parts of the same tree. d. When two species of Paramecium are grown in the same medium, one strain will eventually eliminate its competitor.arrow_forward
- Which statement about the classic competition experiments involving two Paramecium species is FALSE? The experiment involved interspecific competition. The experiment involved exploitation competition. Each species, when grown alone, exhibited logistic growth. When grown together, the species exhibited logistic growth, but each reached a lower carrying capacity than when it was grown alone.arrow_forwardWhen one species is better at obtaining and holding space than another, it is competitively dominant. 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. Below are the competitive arrows from the slides (recall that sessile consumers are superior competitors over the algal species). gooseneck barnacle mussel acorn barnacle coral weed black pine Primary Producers nori seaweed 1= strongest competitor and 6= weakest competitor common coral weed [ Choose ] nori seaweed [ Choose ] black pine algae [ Choose ] mussels [ Choose ] acorn barnacles [ Choose ] gooseneck barnacles [ Choose ] > > > >arrow_forwardWhat is the difference between a fundamental niche and a realized niche?arrow_forward
- Question 3 Which of the following does not directly affect the intensity of competition? Question 3 options: A) Niche overlap. B) Niche breadth. C) The density of competitors. D) The presence of similar species. Question 4 When disturbance is frequent, competition is often less intense. Question 4 options: A) True B) Falsearrow_forwardWhich of the following biological interactions can be considered interspecific mutualism? Question 7 options: a) A population of mussels that have their population size regulated via starfish predation b) A relationship between two individuals from different species and from which only one benefits c) A lamprey feeding on the blood of a lake trout d) Two lions cooperating with each other while hunting e) Pollination from a hummingbird feeding on a flowerarrow_forwardCompetitive exclusion occurs under the following conditions: a. when fundamental niches overlap and competition is asymmetric b. when realized niches overlap and competition is asymmetric c. when fundamental niches overlap and competition is symmetric d. when realized niches overlap and competition is symmetric e. when competition is excluded because niches do not overlaparrow_forward
