Five different species of warblers, seed-eating birds, live in the same species of conifer trees. All of the birds migrate to co
niferous forests during the summer, and different species reside in different areas in the same tree. They feed on the seeds of the conifer trees, but the different species do not mate with each other. Which of the following best explains why the different warbler species can all have habitats in the same conifer trees?a. Not all the warblers are residents in the forest at the same time of the year because of different migration patterns. b. Physiological differences in beak structure allow the warblers to consume different species of seeds through symbiotic relationships.
c. Resource partitioning of the seeds reduces competition, and the five different species can live in the same tree.
d. Niche overlap occurs between the five different species, and living in the same tree increases competition for seeds.
C. Resource partitioning of the seeds reduces competition, and the five different species can live in the same tree
Explanation:
Generally, living organisms tend to compete for resources such as food and water. However, to restrict competition, resource partition is used. Resource partitioning is the breaking down of scarce resources to prevent competition in a niche. Therefore, as a result of resource partition that occurs due to limited resources, the competition among the species is reduced.
Culture varies between groups of people and regions across the world. It consists of the beliefs, lifestyles, and behaviors of those within a particular culture.
The answer is Portugal. The Eastern Europen countries that lie in the Balkan peninsula are Balkan states. Portugal is located in the West of Europe. Balkan countries are located in the southeastern of Europe; composed of 12 countries. These states are close to the Black Sea. The Northern boundary of the peninsula varies (hence also the number of states considered Balkan) especially influenced by historical and political connotations. This is why Turkey is also considered Balkan country.
