- The competitive exclusion principle is best defined as Multiple Choice the competition among individuals of the same species in the same location. the principle that two species that occupy the same niche cannot coexist indefinitely. an interaction between species that enhances the fitness of the exploiting individual while reducing the fitness of the exploited individual. the principle that if an organism allocates energy to one function, such as growth or reproduction, it reduces the amount of energy available to other functions.arrow_forwardSpace is an example of a density. O Independent / abiotic O Independent/biotic Dependent / abiotic Dependent / biotic limiting factor and is also a(n). factor.arrow_forwardThe biotic potential (r) of a species will; Rise when there is an increase in food Remain constant regardless of the situation Decrease when competition is high Decrease as the population approaches carrying capacityarrow_forward
- The maximum sustainable yield (MSY) is the highest rate at which a potentially renewable resource can be used indefinitely without reducing its available supply. The idea is to remove individuals while keeping the population at a constant growth rate and size, but to find the size where the harvest is maximized. The greater the growth rate, the more individuals you can remove and not change the population size. Where is the growth rate at its maximum? To find this look at your logistic model simulator. 1. Set up a hypothetical salmon population where the carrying capacity is 20,000 fish, the maximumr is 0.7. According the the maximum sustainable yield (MSY), at what population size should we maintain the salmon while fishing?arrow_forwardwhich help stabilize a community? presence of keystone and dominant species high conectivity aming species in community large number of different species in community all tend to do destabilize community all help stabilize communityarrow_forwardIs an environment's carrying capacity mainly affected by density-dependent or density-independent factors?
