What are some Patterns indicating competition?

Competitive exclusion: one of the competing species completely eliminates the other. Ecological displacement: spatial arrangement, activity periods, diets, etc., have changed because of competition Character displacement: morphology, physiology, behavior, etc., have been altered by the selective pressure of competition Competitive exclusion principle: If two species-populations are limited by the same resource, then one of them ultimately will exclude the other, but coexistence is promoted by partitioning the resource or by adapting to the selective pressure.


Competitive exclusion occurs when?

A single species, or two species that occupy different niches in the same range and use different resources. Darwin's finches are an example of this. Large strong beaks take the large seeds and small beaks take the lesser seeds as resources.


The disappearance of a population in a given niche as a result of direct competition with another species for a resource is called?

competitive exlusion


How did Gause's experiment with paramecium demonstrate competitive exclusion?

Gause's laboratory experiment demonstrated the process of competitive exclusion because he was able to isolate the two species and their common limiting resource (food) in the laboratory.


When two species use the same resource one species may drive the other to extinction?

competitive exclusion


How do you Study interactions in the real world?

Evidence for an interaction (1) Hypothesize what pattern an interaction would lead to, and then see if that pattern actually occurs (a) Patterns indicating competition i) Competitive exclusion: one of the competing species completely eliminates the other ii) Ecological displacement: spatial arrangement, activity periods, diets, etc., have changed because of competition iii) Character displacement: morphology, physiology, behavior, etc., have been altered by the selective pressure of competition iv) Competitive exclusion principle: If two species-populations are limited by the same resource, then one of them ultimately will exclude the other, but coexistence is promoted by partitioning the resource or by adapting to the selective pressure.


What is the same of different species attempt to use an ecological resource at the same time and same place?

One of the species has to become extinct because one will be more successful than the other. This is called the Law of Competitive Exclusion. Resource partitioning is a way to prevent this, or when two species use different resources in order to avoid competition and create differentiation in their ecological niches.


How do you reduce niche overlap?

Niche Overlap is when two species compete for the same limiting resource, therefore they overlap and develop similar traits.


How do bats and insect-eating birds partition their food?

They use resource partitioning. GOOD LUCK!


Resource partitioning would be most likely to occur between?

sympatric populations of species with similar ecological niches


A firm operating in a purely competitive resource market faces a resource supply curve that is?

B. Perfectly elastic This is because it is operating in a perfect competitive market


What is resource partition?

Resource partitioning is an evolutionary way for species to deal with competition for resources with other species. Species evolved in a way that allowed them to divide resources with other species to ensure their survival.
