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_forwardOn the island of Mauritius and in the Azores, the habitat is very suitable to what animals, even though they never occurred there naturally until accidentally introduced?arrow_forward

Although termites can physically chew and ingest wood, they are incapable of chemically digesting the wood. Inside of the termite is an intestinal flagellate that secretes the enzymes necessary for the termite to digest the wood. The flagellates live only inside in the hindgut of termites. _________ 2. Barnacles create home sites by attaching themselves to whales. This relationship neither harms nor benefits the whale. _________ 3. Tapeworms, for example, live inside the intestines of humans and farm animals. They obtain digested food and shelter from their hosts. Hence, the hosts are likely to suffer from low nutrition. _________ 4. The stork uses its saw-like bill to cut up the dead animals it eats. As a result, the dead animal carcass is accessible to some bees for food and egg laying. The relationship neither harms nor benefits the stork. _________ 5.

- Is this the correct answer?arrow_forwardLake Mendota is a lake with high levels of nutrient input from agriculture that has the potential to fuel blooms of phytoplankton. In 2009 the invasive spiny water flea Bythotrephes (native to Europe and Asia) was first detected in the lake. In the figure, the food web for Lake Mendota prior to the invasion is on the left, and after the invasion on the right. Bythotrephes is a more effective predator of the herbivorous zooplankton Daphnia than the native planktivorous perch (represented by the large red arrows between Bythotrephes and Daphnia), and perch consume Bythotrephes at much lower rates than they do Daphnia (represented by the small red arrows between perch and Bythotrephes). See attached image. Part A In the food web prior to the invasion (1988-2008), what effect would increasing the abundance of pike have on the abundance of Daphnia?
