Given below are two statements: Statement I: In Connell's elegant field experiments on the rocky sea coasts of Scotland, the competitively superior barnacle Chthamalus dominates the intertidal area and excludes the smaller barnacle Balanus . Statement II: MacArthur showed that five closely related species of warblers living on the same tree were able to avoid competition and co-exist due to behavioural differences in

Step-by-step solution

According to Connell's field experiments on the rocky sea coasts of Scotland, the larger and competitively superior barnacle Balanus dominates the intertidal area and excludes the smaller barnacle Chthamalus from that zone. Statement I incorrectly states that Chthamalus is competitively superior and excludes Balanus , making it incorrect. MacArthur's study on five closely related species of warblers living on the same tree demonstrated resource partitioning. They were able to avoid competition and co-exist due to b
