‘Realized niche’ of an organism can be best described as:
1. | the area a species can occupy in the face of exploitive competition |
2. | the habitat of a species within a community resulting from clumping |
3. | the habitat that exists in nature as opposed to the ideal |
4. | the life pattern that the organism actually assumes |
The competitive exclusion principle can be best expressed as:
1. | the more abundant species will exclude the less abundant species through competition |
2. | competition for the same resources excludes species having different lifestyles |
3. | no two species can occupy the same niche indefinitely when resources are limited |
4. | larger organisms exclude smaller ones through competition as in the case of large trees controlling underbrush |
