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

Answer:

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 species use 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.

pashok25 [27]
The four characteristics of a mineral are:

1. Cleavage- the way it breaks, whether flat or roughly.
2. Luster- the way light reflects off of it, i.e. pearly, shiny, etc.
3. Streak- the color that its powder is
4. Hardness, for example, diamond is the hardest mineral, this is usually measured on the Mohs scale.

As our global population rises; so does our appetite for protein. Our meat consumption habits take a serious toll on the environ
Volgvan
<h3>Meat consumption and environment</h3>

Explanation:

Increase in population rises protein demand. Many people meet their dietary protein requirements mainly from animal sources by consumption of meat and meat products like meat, eggs, and processed meat products.

Increased meat consumption leads to increase in global warming. Increased meat consumption raises the demand for meat and animal farming like cattle, poultry and fish farming.

Farm animals release methane through their waste into the environment. Methane is one of the most potential greenhouse gases that cause global warming.  

Animal farming practices requires a lot of water and hence depletes natural water sources. Moreover, the effluent drainage from farmlands pollutes the land as well as natural ground water sources with methane and other pollutants including pathogens and renders the natural sources unusable.

Further, farm animals like cows and goats grazes farmlands and destroys the green cover which helps in carbon sequestration.
