- What is accurate about the nature of competition between species? Choose All That Apply O it takes energy away from other functions of the organisms involved Otraits that reduce competition are generally selected for it is less intense the more the niches overlap overtime it could potentially result in resource partitioningarrow_forwardWhen r is a positive number, the population size is (a) stable (b) increasing (c) decreasing (d) either increasing or decreasing, depending on interference competition (e) either increasing or stable, depending on whether the species is semelparousarrow_forwardGive two examples of the benefits gained by theintroduction of nonnative species. Give two examplesof the harmful effects of nonnative species that havebeen introduced deliberately and two examples of thesame for accidentally introduced species.

- If two species are close competitors, and one species is experimentally removed from the community, the remaining species would be expected to select the best answer O become the target of specialized parasites expand its realized niche O change its fundamental niche eventually become competitively superior to the other species O decline in abundancearrow_forwardSpecies A is present in a community. Species B is introduced to the community. Over the next year, the population sizes of both continual decrease from initial numbers. Which one of the following community interactions might be the cause of this decline? Interspecific competition O Intraspecific competition O Mutualism O Parasitism O Predationarrow_forwardIn a competitive interaction in which species A has a lower carrying capacity (KA) than species B (KB), it is expected that species ____________________ will go extinct.arrow_forward
- When species occupy the same niche, they must compete with each other for limited resources. Check each outcome that is likely to occur in the long-term if two species occupy the same niche. (Select all that apply): O Exclusion of one species from the entire niche, but not the other. OExclusion of both species from the entire niche. Persistence of both species throughout the entire niche. O Division of the niche into two smaller niches, each dominated by a single species. Alternating cycles where one of two species is initially excluded but subsequently becomes dominant, excluding the other.arrow_forwardWhich of the following is least likely a result of competition?
