Without P. ferruginea, the plant won't have any defenses against herbivores

Bullhorn acacia trees protect themselves from herbivorous animals by developing a mutualism with the ant- Pseudomyrmex ferruginea (also known as acacia ant). Ants get inhabited on tree, kill insects and stinging the heads of mammals that try to eat acacia. On the other side, acacia has special glands at the base of the  leaves that produce a nectar rich in sugar and amino acids that ants can consume.

Answer:

  • Eating different vegetables.
  • Eating at different times.
  • Eating in different places in the same region.

Explanation:

It is common for herbivorous animals of different species to share the ecological niche and the same habitat without establishing competition for resources. In this case, these animals manage to maintain a balance between their populations and the resources available for both species to survive. Three ways of doing this are:

  • Feeding on different vegetables: Even though they are herbivores, some animals prefer a specific type of vegetable, or just feed on these vegetables. We can use as an example animals that eat only fruits and animals that eat only herbs.
  • Eating at different times: Some animals have nocturnal habits, while others have diurnal habits. This is very efficient so that these animals are not competitors and are able to feed at different times
  • Eating in different places in the same region: We can use as an example two species of turtles, where one lives on the south side of the region and feeds on the vegetables found there, while the other species lives on the north side of the region and feeds on vegetables found there.
