A bat species (species 1) lives in a city. Another bat species (species 2) established a population in that same city after some
individuals escaped from a zooo. Both species of bats are able to roost in buildings of any height. But in isolation, both species prefer to roost at the top of buildings that are at least 3 stories tall. After bat species 2 becomes established in the city, you observe that bat species 1 is only found roosting at the top of short buildings that are less than 3 stories tall, while bat species 2 roots only at the top of building that are three or more stories tall. Roosting areas in buildings of any height are the _________________ of both bat species.
A. adaptation
B. fundamental niche
C. resource partitioning
D. realized niche
E. competitive exclusion
Roosting areas in buildings of any height are the resource partitioning of both bat species.
Explanation:
The <em>fundamental niche</em> refers <u>only </u>to <u>physic conditions</u> in which a species can live and survive in the absence of any interaction with other species.
The <em>realized niche</em> refers to the <u>restricted conditions</u> in which a species can live and survive as a result of <u>environment physic characteristics</u> and the <u>interaction</u> with other species.
<em>Competitive exclusion</em> refers to the <u>exclusion</u> of the inferior competitor by the superior competitor when there is not habitat differentiation, and both species can not share the same niche. In this case, the effective niche of the dominant species completely occupies the fundamental niche of the inferior competitor.
Resources partitioning refers to one dominant species monopolizing the resources, and the other inferior speciesuse resources -partially or completely-, migrates or get extinguished.
A way in which species can divide resources is by living in different habitat areas. These species <em>might eat the same food</em>, and <em>can roost in different places</em> within the same habitat. This resource partitioning and differentiation in the function of their physic location allows both species to coexist more effectively.
In the present example, both bat species can coexist in the same city but the weaker bat species (species 1) roost at the top of the shorter buildings while dominant species (species 2) roost at the top of the highest buildings.
It is important because plants would not be able to produce food for themselves, so the plant would die. Animals that feed on plants would not be able to survive, and animals that feed on other animals would die too because they would not have any food.
It would be easier to see the data in a line graph. This way, you could easily see the growth of mass and the (i'm guessing height?) of the AWM in relation to the time (aka week). The bar graph could work, but a line graph would be a better option for this information.
Water molecules exhibit hydrogen bonded to oxygen, which is considered a hydrogen bond. This is the strongest type of bond and is not easily broken. Once formed, a large amount of heat is needed to disrupt the bond energy and break apart the molecule. Therefore, water has a high heat capacity and can withstand higher temperatures than that of some other liquids.
<span>The cycle of processes by which water circulates between the earth's oceans, atmosphere, and land, involving precipitation as rain and snow, drainage in streams and rivers, and return to the atmosphere by evaporation and transpiration is called water cycle. The first picture is a picture of the water cycle.
