Use the following passage to answer the next 5 questions. You are studying the intertidal zone of a previously unstudied island. You find three species of barnacles on the rocks. Species A is most abundant in the upper intertidal zone, Species B in the middle, and Species C in the lower, as shown below. Species A dominates Species B dominates Species C dominates Upper intertidal zone Middle intertidal zone Lower intertidal zone
Q8. Continuing your studies, you perform a transplant experiment. You chisel up multiple rocks from the upper intertidal zone, each holding 10 individuals of Species A, and move them to the lower intertidal zone among individuals of Species C. You count the number of individuals of each species present at the end of 30 days. Based on your findings, what can you conclude? (Remember that all 3 species settle in this zone at equal rates.) Number of individuals, after 30 days, on rocks transplanted to the lower intertidal zone. ROCK Rock 1 Rock 2 Rock 3 A 3 1 2 SPECIES B 1 2 1 с 12 15 16 Species A and B lack the necessary adaptations to survive in the lower intertidal zone. Species C likely outcompetes Species A and B in the lower intertidal zone. Species A and B compete with one another for space in the lower intertidal zone, reducing the number of individuals of both species. Species A outcompetes Species B in the lower intertidal zone.
