Your colleague designed a common garden experiment to determine if moisture level influences competition between a native alga and an exotic alga. The design includes four plot types: wet with native only, wet with exotic only, wet with both algae, and dry with both algae. The results are below. Plot Native alga Wet: native only Grew well Wet: exotic only n/a Exotic alga n/a Grew well Wet: both algae Grew well Dry: both algae Went extinct Grew well Went extinct You note that his experimental design is incomplete and, as a result, he cannot support one of the following conclusions. Which conclusion is NOT supported? The native alga's fundamental niche includes wet habitats. The exotic alga's fundamental niche includes wet abitats. The exotic alga competitively excludes the native alga in dry habitats. The native alga competitively excludes the exotic alga in wet habitats.arrow_forward
