Question

what should we conclude when the yield line of clawbrutus is over the 1:1 line in the graph of a replacement series? a) interspecific competition is stronger than intraspecific competition b) the two species do not compete c) intraspecific and interspecific competition are equal in strength d) intraspecific competition is stronger than interspecific competition

Explanation:

In replacement - series graphs, when the yield line is above the 1:1 line, it indicates that interspecific competition is stronger than intraspecific competition. This is because the presence of the other species has a more negative impact on the growth or yield of the focal species compared to competition within the same species.

Answer:

a) Interspecific competition is stronger than intraspecific competition
