Lecture Quiz 7 81. We can infer that competition has occurred when species have identical geographic distributions when one population decreases in numbers as a result of the interaction when one population increases in numbers as a result of the interaction only when species are present at the same time 84.

Consumption of a. live plant matter b. detritus b. The spatial or temporal separation of two species in the way they use a common resource, thus resulting in reduced competition, is referred to as a. niche overlap b. character displacement c. resource partitioning d. interference competition 87.
