Question

which of the following has to be true about the two species shown in the graph in the previous question? select all that apply: question 13select one or more: a. the niche of species 1 overlaps completely with that of species 2 in the environment these data were collected in. b. species 1 is competitively superior to species 2 across the full range of environmental variation encountered in the observed area where the populations size data in this plot were collected. c. in the absence of the other species, species 1 is more likely to maintain a higher carrying capacity than species 2. d. species 2 is competitively superior to species 1 across the full range of environmental variation encountered in the observed area. e. species 1 is competitively superior to species 2 in some environmental settings, and species 2 is competitively superior to species 1 in other environmental settings in the area these data were collected in. f. the intrinsic rate of growth of species 1 has to be higher than that of species 2.

Answer 1

The two species shown in the graph have overlapping niches, species 1 has a higher carrying capacity in the absence of species 2, and their competitive superiority varies across different environmental settings.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct statements about the two species shown in the graph are as follows:

Statement a: The niche of species 1 overlaps completely with that of species 2 in the environment where the data were collected.

Statement c: In the absence of the other species, species 1 is more likely to maintain a higher carrying capacity than species 2.

Statement e: Species 1 is competitively superior to species 2 in some environmental settings, and species 2 is competitively superior to species 1 in other environmental settings in the area where the data were collected.
