Connell's field experiment on the rocky sea coast of Scotland, where larger Barnacle Balanus dominates the intertidal area and removes the smaller Barnacle Chthamalus. This happened due to
- A Predation
- B Competition
- C Parasitism
- D Mutualism
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) Competition
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
(B) Competition,
It was observed that in the deeper zones, Balanus barnacles could always outcompete Chthamalus barnacles. Balanus barnacles used to resources of the deeper zone more efficiently than Chthamalus organism do, even though Chthamalus barancles are able to service there in the absence of its competitor.
