It is a behavioral adaptation. 

There are three types of adaptations: 
Structural - body parts that help it survive (e.g. color, size, shape)
Physiological - systems present in an organism that allow it a special feature (e.g. venom, skin color changes)
Behavioral - an action that allows the organism to better survive

How do aquatic factors affect the distribution of aquatic life (include both biotic and abiotic factors)?”
earnstyle [38]

(a) Aquatic ecosystems are rich in diversity. The life inside water is largely influenced by various abiotic factors. The abiotic factors are the chemical and physical components of an environment that affect the organisms living there. The primary abiotic factors that affect the life underwater are temperature, light and availability of oxygen.

(b) Oxygen available to the aquatic organisms is a detrimental factor. If less oxygen is available underwater aquatic animals will not be able to respire and die.

Light is also an important abiotic factor for underwater organisms especially for the aquatic plants. the aquatic plants underwater will not be able to make their food by photosynthesis if proper light is not available.

Temperature also plays an important role. Too low or too high temperature affects the metabolic activities of the organisms.

Depth of water body affects the availability of light and oxygen to the aquatic organisms. Shallow water bodies have light available to more aquatic organisms.

Can 2 species coexist in the same niche? Why or why not?
sweet [91]
In general, one species wins, and one species is eliminated. These experiments gave rise to the competitive exclusion principle: No two species of similar requirements can long occupy the same niche (coexist). In the case of paramecium, the same species always won. Hope This Helps

If Plants no longer existed on earth then there would be no way for carbon dioxide to be converted into oxygen, without oxygen animals and humans alike would die. The Worlds "Air" would be toxic for us to breathe, we need plants to survive. Without plants, animals would die of starvation, and predators would as well without substance.
