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.
What process is being described by this figure?
1. mutualism
2. competition
3. predation
4. niche differentiation
In the Serengeti ecosystem, what type of predators do wildebeest need to watch out for?

True Falsearrow_forwardCommunity - Competition. Competition between species on the same trophic tier leads to four potential outcomes, 3 are deterministic (zero sum games where one species goes extinct and the other maximizes their growth to balance at the carrying capacity) and one where both competitors survive, but neither does well. This dynamic suggests that extirpation (local extinction) of populations is a far more likely outcome than co-existence. How, in your opinion, does this affect management policies aimed at increasing biodiversity and proliferation of inter and intra population and interspecies variation. Reason your point of view. Endangered species are defined by low growth rates (r ) and low K (reflecting high demand for resources). What are the implications of both these factors on the outcome of competition scenarios, especially the most common scenario of alternate stable states?arrow_forward
