Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Sympatric species are those that are found in the same geographic area or habitat, and they avoid competition by utilizing different portions of the habitat or different resources. This is known as resource partitioning, and it allows species to coexist in the same area without directly competing for resources. Allopatric species, on the other hand, are those that are geographically separated, and co-evolved species have evolved together in a mutualistic or antagonistic relationship. Predators are organisms that hunt and kill other organisms for food, and are not relevant to this concept of resource partitioning.
