Gause's principle of competitive exclusion - no two species can occupy identical niches indefinitely when resources are limiting -either they can't exist for a long time or there niches are somewhat different Sympatric species often avoid competition by living in different portions of the habitat, or using different food or other resources Ex: anolis lizards on caribbean island Character displacement differences between symmetric species that are favored by natural selection in order to part...

"Optimally foraging" children, seeking to sell water, should all stand on the same side of the road. - False A beaver makes a dam which creates habitat for a species of fish - commensalism A cow eats grass - exploitation A gopher digs a hole in a patch of grass amensalism - amensalism A hummingbird pollinates a flower while it ingests nectar - mutalism A metapopulation: - Refers to patchiness in a population that allows it to function like many connected smaller subpopulations. A nich...

Who gets harmed, who benefits in each type of interaction? - • Mutualism (prey and predatory benefit from interaction) • Consumption (one benefits and one is harmed by interaction. Includes: predation, parasitism, herbivory) • Competition (both are harmed by interaction - but one harmed more than the other) What is "facilitation" and how does it play out over time? - Facilitation: an interaction in which one species has a positive effect on the survival and reproduction of another ...
