Two things that INCREASE population, would be an increase in leisure space. Another is if the area is sustainable for life. Two things that would DECREASE population, would be a scarcity of any required resources. A decrease in space, and not a sustainable area.
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.
The right option is; d. consumers
All animals are consumers
Consumers are organisms that usually feed on other organisms or organic matter in order to gain energy because of their inability to manufacture their food from inorganic sources. All animals are consumers and they are also known as heterotrophs. There are different types of consumers. They include; primary consumers (herbivores e.g. goats, cows), secondary consumers (carnivores e.g. wolves, crocodile), and tertiary consumers (large carnivores e.g. eagle, lion)
I would say that the fishes exhibited the greatest diversity (though the brachiopods also had considerable diversity) and mostly were of the ostracoderms (with a platey or shell-like skin and no jawbone) which exhibited many varieties and also the placoderm which had gills, a jawbone and fins so was developing characteristics of modern fish.
