Question:
Describe the competitive exclusion principle using the concept of limiting resources and state at least two mechanisms that enable coexistence between competing species.
*Marine biology question*
Fully explain what is being conveyed by the following illustration of activities in the Giant Kelp community of the continental shelf.
Use the following passage to answer the next 5 questions.
You are studying the intertidal zone of a previously unstudied island. You find three species of barnacles on the rocks. Species A is most abundant in the upper intertidal
zone, Species B in the middle, and Species C in the lower, as shown below.
Species A dominates
Upper intertidal zone
Species B dominates
Middle intertidal zone
Species C dominates
Lower intertidal zone
Q6. You conduct an exclusion experiment: You locate three experimental areas on rock faces that are the same size and span all three intertidal zones (upper,
middle, and lower). In each experimental area, you exclude all but one species of barnacle for the duration of the experiment, as illustrated in the diagram
below.
The diagram also shows the numbers of individuals for the unexcluded species in each intertidal zone at the end of your experiment. Based on the data, what
