- 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
- Competitive 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_forwardExplain why you chose A or B, etc. Provide a logical explanation defending your answer choice. Q: If two species are competing for a resource, and one species is a much better competitor than the other, the most likely outcome is _________. Group of answer choices A) The stronger competitor attempts to predate the other B) The competitors partition the resource they are competing over C) Evolution of a mutualist or commensal relationship D) All of these are likely E) Extirpation of the weaker competitor Q: 3-toed sloths have a species of algae that live in their hair, which improves their camouflage in the forest canopy. In turn, the algae get moisture and a place to grow. This is an example of a(n) ________________ interaction, and is denoted by ______.

- when two species exist on the same niche, how is the dominant species affected by the presence of the inferior species?arrow_forwardExplain the premise of the Lotka-Volterra Competition Model and what it tells us about the competitive exclusion principlearrow_forwardSpecies facing competition might evolve mechanism that promotes coexistence rather than exclusion. Justify this statement in light of Gause’s competitive exclusionprinciple, citing suitable examples.arrow_forward
- 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_forwardA niche is loosely defined as an organism's role in its environment, which can include factors such as feeding preference, nesting behaviors, mating behaviors, method of obtaining prey, and local habitats. Keeping Gause's law in mind, do some research on the California red-legged frog and the North Pacific tree frog (use wiki or another Google search). Create a chart comparing the two with respect to their niche or lifestyle that can explain how these two frogs can co-exist in the same ecosystem.arrow_forwardDefine interference competition.
