Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The bison and the wildebeest are both large herbivores that occupy similar niches in their respective ecosystems. They are considered ecological equivalents because they have similar roles and ecological relationships with their environment, even though they live on different continents. The other choices (B-D) do not accurately reflect the relationship between these species. E, primary producers, would refer to plants that use photosynthesis to produce energy, which is not true for bison or wildebeest.
