Answer:

one will become extinct
one/both will adapt
one will migrate to a new location

Explanation:

An ecological niche is the role species has in its environment. This includes how it survives, reproduces, finds shelter, and obtains good. It includes all its interactions with both biotic (living) and abiotic (non-living) factors.

When species occupy the same niche, it means they are competing for the same resources. This is not sustainable. Eventually, one of three things are likely to happen:

one species will die out (become extinct) because they are being outcompeted by the more successful species, and will struggle to survive without adequate food and shelter
either one or both species will have to adapt to occupy another similar niche by, for example, exploiting a new food source in the area.
either one or both species will have to migrate to a new area to occupy a different geographical area and new resources.

The species that is being excluded from the niche can either adapt in the long term to occupy another similar niche, migrate to a new area, or it can die out.

Can I get some help with 1 and 2

ikadub [295]

For number one, wolves may eat fish instead of larger animals because those larger animals may be going into hibernation and also the berries that a wolf may eat has also gone out of season, leaving the only choice really being fish.

For number two, over harvesting salmon is pretty bad when it comes to the environment. it takes away food from predators, like the wolves in number one, so they lose a source of food and it also takes away the salmons ability to eat the smaller organisms in the stream, so they're going to become overpopulated.

igh levels of cortisol would normally provide negative feedback to the _______. High levels of cortisol would normally provide n

alexandr1967 [171]

High levels of cortisol would normally provide negative feedback to the D)the anterior pituitary and the hypothalamus.

ACTH secretion stimulates the discharge of glucocorticoids (cortisol), mineralocorticoids (aldosterone), and androgen from the adrenal cortex.

Corticotropin-liberating hormone (CRH) is launched from the hypothalamus, which stimulates the anterior pituitary to release adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH). ACTH then acts on its target organ, the adrenal cortex.

Cortisol increases blood sugar by way of releasing stored glucose, at the same time as insulin lowers blood sugar. Having chronically high cortisol stages can result in continual high blood sugar (hyperglycemia). this can purpose type 2 diabetes.
