Coexistence Between a Superior and Inferior Competitor Can Occur If

Question

Coexistence between a superior and inferior competitor can occur if
A) The two species have independent, aggregated distributions.
B) The superior is homogenous throughout the habitat.
C) Competition were directed most from the superior to the inferior competitor.
D) All of the above.

Accepted Answer

If the two species have independent, aggregated distributions, they may not compete directly for resources and can coexist. Homogeneity of the superior competitor or directionality of competition towards the inferior competitor are not necessarily factors that allow coexistence.
