Question

Which of the following was a finding of Connell's experiments with intertidal barNaCles?

1) In both species, the extent of the distribution of larvae is greater than that of adults.
2) One species is excluded from the top of the intertidal zone due to sensitivity to desiccation.
3) One species is excluded from the bottom of the intertidal zone due to competition with the other species.
4) All of the above

Answer 1

The finding of Connell's experiments with intertidal barnacles is that all of the above statements are true.

Step-by-step explanation:

The finding of Connell's experiments with intertidal barnacles is option 4) All of the above. In his experiments, Connell observed that in both species of barnacles, the distribution of larvae is greater than that of adults. He also found that one species is excluded from the top of the intertidal zone due to sensitivity to desiccation, while the other species is excluded from the bottom of the intertidal zone due to competition with the first species. Therefore, all of these findings were observed in Connell's experiments with intertidal barnacles.
