According to the concept of resource partitioning, which attribute of a community would tend to lead to lower species richness in a community where competitive interactions have a strong influence on species richness?

A. Most species are generalists, utilizing a broad spectrum of resources
B. Most species are specialists, utilizing a narrow spectrum of resources
C. Resource diversity is high
D. Both a and c

Respuesta :

Answer:

The correct options are Both A and B

Explanation:

According to the concept of resource partitioning, the attribute of a community that would tend to lead to lower species richness in a community where competitive interactions have a strong influence on species richness are " MOST SPECIES ARE GENERALISTS, UTILIZING A BROAD SPECTRUM OF RESOURCES"

AND "MOST SPECIES ARE SPECIALISTS, UTILIZING A NARROW SPECTRUM OF RESOURCES"

The resource partitioning is the division of limited resources to species and helps to avoid completion in an ecological niche.

  • As the organisms complete unlimited resources so the different species have to find different ways to coexist.
  • Thereby partitioning of the resources would lead to species richness as the diversity of the resources would be high and hence the option D is correct.
