A

Exclusion

39
Q

What does competitions restricts species to?

A

Realized Niche

40
Q

What does strong competitions induce?

A

Evolutionary Response - New species from the fundamental niche and Competitve Exclusion

41
Q

What is two species exhibiting starkly different traits where they occur together vs where they occur in separate geographic distribution?

A

Character Displacement and Geographic Distribution

42
Q

What are species that are isolated from each other by a clear visible barrier?

A

Allopatry

43
Q

What are species occurring in the same geographic region/area?

A

Sympatric

44

What happens when species with inferior qualities are excluded in the community from other species?

A

Competitive Exclusion

46
Q

As population grows, there is increase in size and resource requirements. If population decreases, what happens to density?

A

Decreases
