Upper Intertidal Zone Lower Intertidal Zone Balanus balonoides Chthamalus stellatus The diagram above shows the distribution of two species of barnacle in the intertidal region of the Isle of Cumbrae, Scotland. What is the unusual and interesting pattern Connell noticed in the distribution pattern? O The two species were found together in the intertidal zone. O The two species' distributions were mixed in the intertidal zone. The two species' distributions formed horizontal bands in the intertidal zone that did not overlap. O The two species distributions formed horizontal bands in the intertidal zone with a large area of overlap where the two species were found coexisting together.

WRITE ABOUT A THEME: INTERACTIONS In Batesianmimicry, a palatable species gains protection by mimickingan unpalatable one. Imagine that individuals of a palatable,brightly colored fly species are blown to three remote islands.The first island has no predators of that species; the second haspredators but no similarly colored, unpalatable species; and thethird has both predators and a similarly colored, unpalatablespecies. In a short essay (100–150 words), predict what mighthappen to the coloration of the palatable species on each islandthrough time if coloration is a genetically controlled trait.Explain your predictions
