Explanation:

Sediment discharge was historically approximately 270 million cubic meters/year of suspended load and 130 million cubic meters/year of bedload. This has decreased 80% since 1850 and can be divided into three periods: historical period (pre 1900), pre-dam period (1932-1952), and post dam (1963-1982). Suspended sediment loads declined 43% between the historical and pre-dam and 51% from pre-dam to post-dam periods. The size of sediment also decreased drastically including a 72% decrease in the sand fraction. Most of this is due to dams on the tributaries acting as sediment traps primarily for the coarser sediments. Large-scale land clearing for agriculture contributed to increased sediment loads in the historic period.

Two species of warblers colonize the same island habitat. Both species nest in similar locations and eat the same type of prey.

GuDViN [60]

Answer:

D. Be eliminated

Explanation:

Competition in biology is the process of interaction between two or more organisms, which are using the same resources e.g food, space, mate or occupying the same ecological niche. Competition between organisms often result in one or bother organisms getting harmed due to the strive for a limited resource.

Hence, in the case of two warblers occupying the same habitat and feeding on the same prey, competition is inevitable between these two species of organism. Therefore, the competition will eventually cause one of the species to be eliminated or killed.
