The competitive exclusion principle states that species that compete for the same resource in the same way: will end up with one eating the other to extinction. will have population numbers that cycle in response to one another. cannot coexist and one will outcompete the other. usually find a way to coexist.

Which of the following is least likely a result of competition? Increase in carrying capacity for both species Character displacement (populations possess different traits in the presence of similar species) Reduced niche breadth (smaller realized than fundamental niche) Resource partitioning
The competitive exclusion principle is best defined as Multiple Choice the competition among individuals of the same species in the same location. the principle that two species that occupy the same niche cannot coexist indefinitely. an interaction between species that enhances the fitness of the exploiting individual while reducing the fitness of the exploited individual. the principle that if an organism allocates energy to one function, such as growth or reproduction, it reduces the amount of energy available to other functions.
What is competitive exclusion? Choose All That Apply an antagonistic interaction between populations of two different species when one species outcompeting another species for resources an interaction between two species that can result resource partitioning an interaction that is not a factor in determining niches in a community
The relationship between impalas and oxpeckers, the birds that feed on their ticks, is an example of a mutualism, not commensalism, because one species benefits and the other is not helped or harmed neither species benefits both species are harmed one species benefits but the other is harmed both species benefit, not just one

What would a random distribution of species in an environment indicate? that females are antagonistically interacting in the population that males are antagonistically interacting in the population resources are uniformly distributed throughout the habitat O resources are randomly distributed throughout the habitat
Which of the following events would decrease competition for resources in an ecosystem? a disease reduces the population of rabbits in a grassland area a drought reduces the amount of water available to an ecosystem a fire has killed off a portion of the vegetation many offspring are produced in a single year
Predation is an interaction between two species best described how? One species benefits from the interaction at a cost to the other species. Both species benefit from the interaction. One species benefits from the interaction, and the other is unaffected. Neither species benefit from the interaction.
