To conduct water and minerals to the leaves
Answer:
The correct answer is - reducing competition between the birds for resources.
Explanation:
In this ecosystem, the two species of birds brown creepers and nuthatches share habitat in the same tree for their food resources are insects. Brown creepers feed on resources on the bottom of the tree whereas nuthatches feed on the top of the tree.
By this, they avoid competition between these two birds for the same food resources in the same tree. The competition would be more if both have depended on the insects all over the tree.
There is no trick to it. If you look up the word in the dictionary it means <span>"the branch of science concerned with classification, especially of organisms; systematics". So, in biology taxonomy is</span><span> the science of defining groups of biological organisms on the basis of shared characteristics and giving names to those groups.
