The "principle of tolerance limits".. O relates species abundance and distribution to the physiological tolerance of the organism. defines the realized niche of an organism. can explain why more tolerant species face reduced risks of extinction. states that a species' tolerance to competition will limit the dispersion of individuals within a population.

The competitive exclusion principle is best defined as Multiple Choice the competition among individuals of the same species in the same location. the principle that two species that occupy the same niche cannot coexist indefinitely. an interaction between species that enhances the fitness of the exploiting individual while reducing the fitness of the exploited individual. the principle that if an organism allocates energy to one function, such as growth or reproduction, it reduces the amount of energy available to other functions.
Which of the following is least likely a result of competition? Increase in carrying capacity for both species Character displacement (populations possess different traits in the presence of similar species) Reduced niche breadth (smaller realized than fundamental niche) Resource partitioning
What is competitive exclusion? Choose All That Apply an antagonistic interaction between populations of two different species when one species outcompeting another species for resources an interaction between two species that can result resource partitioning an interaction that is not a factor in determining niches in a community

Predation is an interaction between two species best described how? One species benefits from the interaction at a cost to the other species. Both species benefit from the interaction. One species benefits from the interaction, and the other is unaffected. Neither species benefit from the interaction.
