While working in your lab, you come across four unlabeled boxes that each contain several salamander skulls. You notice that the skull samples differ in jaw size and decide to measure and plot the ranges and averages of jaw sizes in each of the samples (i.e. boxes) of skulls. The resulting data are shown below. min |max squamosal average dentary Sample 1 Sample 2 Sample 3 Sample 4 small Jaw size large Is the following hypotheses about the samples plausible given your data on jaw sizes in these samples of salamander skulls? Choose True for yes, the hypothesis is plausible. Choose False for no, the hypothesis is not plausible.

Question

1- Competitive exclusion means that salamanders from these four samples must have lived in four different geographic regions. ( choose true or false)

 

2- Salamanders from Sample 1 probably prey on salamanders from Sample 4. ( choose true or false)

 

3- There could be two species of salamanders represented in these samples, and Sample 2 and Sample 3 are from populations where the ranges of the two species overlap. ( choose true or false)

 

4- These four samples of skulls are from four different species of salamanders and Samples 1, 2, and 3 were collected in the same region but Sample 4 was collected from a different region. ( choose true or false)
