exclusion, also known as Gause’s principle, tells us that it is impossible for any two organisms to occupy the same niche without one of them going extinct (Hardin 1960; Gause 1934). This principle is easy to see in frugivores, grainivores, and carnivores that use discrete food packets, such as an insect or seed (Hanley 1982). MacArthur (1958) clearly demonstrated that each species is uniquely adapted to their niche and their competitive advantage prevents niche overlap, with his classic…

In each ecosystem there are habitats that vary in size depending on the species of population in size. A healthy ecosystem consists of balance between biotic factors and abiotic factors, also known as “non-living” factors which may include and it’s not limited to sunlight, temperature, precipitation, soil, and etc. These abiotic factors help aid the flow of energy among the abiotic factors. The biotic factors which includes “Living Factors”, may include soil, animals, plants, bacteria, and also…
Title: Ecological Interactions of Living Organisms in Beaver Creek Statement of the Problem: How do the organisms in Beaver Creek interact with the biotic and abiotic portions of the ecosystem? The sample was taken from Beaver Creek (a tributary of Tookany Creek) in Glenside, Montgomery County, PA. The pH of the creek was 5.5, and the stream velocity was detectable (greater or equal to walking speed). In the area of collection, the stream width was one meter and the depth was 14 cm. There…
be able to breed in captivity, they have to get along with animals or be able to be trained to get along with animals and the have to have a social structure. If an animal that is not a herbivore is in captivity you have to raise animal for the carnivore to eat and plants for the animal to eat. If an animal is under 100 pounds it won't provide enough nutrition and meat in general so if you only have skinny or small animals you will most likely sarve. You do not want an aggressive animal on your…
