Question

Two species of warblers colonize the same island habitat. Both species nest in similar locations and eat the same type of prey. Eventually, competition will probably cause one species to:________.

a. grow exponentially.
b. speciate.
c. migrate.
d. be eliminated.

Answer 1

D. Be eliminated

Step-by-step explanation:

Competition in biology is the process of interaction between two or more organisms, which are using the same resources e.g food, space, mate or occupying the same ecological niche. Competition between organisms often result in one or bother organisms getting harmed due to the strive for a limited resource.

Hence, in the case of two warblers occupying the same habitat and feeding on the same prey, competition is inevitable between these two species of organism. Therefore, the competition will eventually cause one of the species to be eliminated or killed.
