This is for my AP Biology Exam Review; the test is tomorrow!

The realized niche is a subset of the characteristics of the fundamental niche, as a result of competition from another species, or just plain not having all of the characteristics of the fundamental niche in the local environment.
As such, the realized niche is going to fluctuate if the population(s) of the competitors fluctuate(s). Or, something like climate change can change the local environment, and change what resources are available at all.

a) Was the type of competition between the barnacles described in Dr. J.H. Connell’s study the exploitative or the interference type? Explain your answer.
b) How did Connell show that the realized niche of the barnacle, semibalanus, was the same as its fundamental niche?
