Two species of shorebirds are both adapted to live in coastal marshes. One species outcompetes the other for the small fish that

live within one niche in the marsh. What is likely to happen to the other species of birds?
Biology

Answer:

The population of other specie of birds will decline or other specie of birds will find some alternate source of food to survive.

Explanation:

According to the Competitive exclusion principle, which is also known as Gause's Law, two specie living in the same niche and feeding on the same resource cannot co-exist stably.

As we have well studied the theory of natural selection which states that only those organisms survive which have better tendency to compete for food and adapt to the environmental conditions.

Coming towards the question, what wi ll happen when One species outcompetes the other for the small fish , the other specie will not get enough food and will start to die or decline in population. Eventually either other specie needs to find another alternative food source for itself or migrate at some other location where there is less competition otherwise it will just not exist anymore at that niche.

Hope it help!

Faunal Succession—The principle of faunal succession, also known as the law of faunal succession, is based on the observation that sedimentary rock strata contain fossilized flora and fauna, and that these fossils succeed each other vertically in a specific, reliable order that can be identified over wide horizontal distances.

Original Horizontality—The Principle of Original Horizontality states that layers of sediment are originally deposited horizontally under the action of gravity. It is a relative dating technique. The principle is important to the analysis of folded and tilted strata.

lateral continuity—The principle of lateral continuity states that layers of sediment initially extend laterally in all directions; in other words, they are laterally continuous. As a result, rocks that are otherwise similar, but are now separated by a valley or other erosional feature, can be assumed to be originally continuous.

Superposition—Superposition is the ability of a quantum system to be in multiple states at the same time until it is measured.

What happens when a sound source is moving?
Mumz [18]

Explanation:

It stretched or compresses the sound waves it is producing if it is relatively moving away to getting closer respectively. This is called the <u>Doppler shift effect</u>..

This is why when a wailing ambulance approached you, the pitch of its wailing is high but when it passes you and moves away from you the pitch of the wailing lowers. Remember this is happening relative to your position.
