The various taxonomic levels (e.g. genera, classes, etc.) of the hierarchical classification system differ
Westkost [7]

Answer:

(c) their inclusiveness.

Explanation:

The taxonomic classification has eight levels, they go from the more inclusive to the more exclusive.

The eight categories are: <u>Domain</u> which  is the most inclusive level, that is to say, that the largest number of individuals are included in this level. There are  three domains according to the cells types, and where they live. They are the Eukarya, Bacteria and Archaea. Domains are divided into <u>kingdoms</u>, they are the Plantae, protista, Eubacteria, Archaebacteria,  Animalia and Fungi. After kingdoms the <u>Phylum</u> category comes, following Phylum is <u>Class</u>, various classes that are related will form a Phylum. The next category is <u>Order</u>, order is divided into <u>Family,</u> families are broken into <u>Genus</u>, where species are closely related between each other and finally the last category is <u>Especies identifier,</u> in this group there are unique characteristics that will identify a specie. With this classification we can see that we go from global groups  to more specifics ones as the classification avances.

One reason native plants are declining is that the invasive plants absorb nitrogen from the soil about twice as fast (α = 2). Ho
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

α = 0 if β= 0

Explanation:

If both species want to persist in the same environment and their niches are also over lapping then both of the co-efficient values should be equal. There are two possibilities on these values for persistence. One is that one should compromise to the change produced by the invasive specie and two is that the new specie should compromise if he wants to stay (<em><u>Assuming that there is no competition</u></em>). In this way their niches won't overlap to a greater extent and therefore better chances of survival for both.
