  8. Switch to pink salt get trace minerals that are not always available in iodized salts. These are important for the conduction of electrical impulses in the brain and increase reaction response and shorten reaction time.
  9. Eat two hours before bed to reduce indigestion, this will also decrease weight gain as the food is moved along the digestive system long before it is time to go to sleep.

A third species of kangaroo rat is introduced into the habitats of the two species from Question 5. If this third species is bio
DochEvi [55]

Both species would share both habitats because their niches would be different and competition would thus be eliminated.

A habitat is an area where an organism/species makes its home, which can be represented by all the resources present in that area. Conversely, a niche is the role of a particular species/organism within an environment. In consequence, a niche refers to the position of the organism/species within its community as a consequence of its adaptations, which is unrelated to the physical area it occupies.

In other words, the term habitat indicates how the environment impacts the organism/species while the term niche indicates how the organism/species impacts the environment.

Competitive exclusion indicates that two or more species can't have the same niche in a particular habitat and coexist. In this case, both species can coexist because they share habitats but their niches are different (it occurs when species have restricted diets and therefore their niches do not overlap).

In humans, what muscle is homologous to the serratus ventralis found in cats
Nat2105 [25]
The Serratus anterior in man is homologous to the Serratus ventralis  muscle in the cat. The Serratus anterior is a muscle that originates on the surface of the 1st to 8th ribs at the side of the chest and insects along the entire anterior length of the medial border of the scapula. The Serratus anterior acts to pull the scapula forward around the thorax. Serratus ventralis in the cats looks like fingers because it attaches to the ribs, but has nothing to attach to between the ribs.
