Question

which of the following is NOT a factor impacting species coexistance?

A) resource partioning

B) using multiple resources in different proportions

C) habitat heterogenity

D) intermediate disturbance intensity and frequency

E) All of the above are factors that influence species coexistance

Answer 1

answer - E (all of the above are factors that influence species coexistence)

explanation -

- resource portioning can make less compitition between species due to less overlapping of food resources.

- this is the statement of "resource ratio hypothesis" that species coexist in a better way by using available resources in different ratio or proportion.

- habitat heterogeneity promotes species coexistence.

- Intensity and frequency of disturbance can fluctuate the species coexistence

So all are the factors.
