When 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.

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.
Thinking about biological magnification of toxins, is it healthier to feedat a lower or higher trophic level? Explain
Two species of sea urchins live practically side by side on sandy bottoms. The two species appear to have the same diet: drift seaweedsand other bits of organic matter. They are able to live in the sameenvironment with minimal competition. How might they be able toshare their habitat and food resources?
ANSWER THE FOLLOWING: If you are to engage into aquaculture, how will you do it considering your current location and available resources. What species, level of management and culture system will you consider? (imagine your location is Philippines) On the otherhand, if all resources are available and favorable, what brackishwater and marine species will you grow/culture? Discuss your criteria of considering these species. Describe the level of management and culture system that you will employ.
Could there be any advantage for a Phytoplankton cell to not minimize the sinking rate? Explain.
Under what circumstances can two species with identical niches coexist indefinitely?
You are interested in reconstructing temperature using δ18O of planktonic (surface floaters) foraminifera back through time at one site in the North Atlantic. In addition to temperature, what other two factors will you have to consider that may have a significant impact on the δ18O signal through time at this site?
Define the niche concept. How does the “realized niche” of a popu-lation differ from its “fundamental niche”? How does the concept of niche differ from the concept of guild?
