N 1917, biologist A. G. Tansley performed a famous series of studies on two species of bedstraw, a plant that was used to stuff beds. In nature, heath bedstraw is confined to acidic soils, while slender bedstraw lives on calcareous soils. From one set of studies, Tansley knew that each species could exist on both types of soils. This led him to wonder if competition between the two species was responsible for their non-overlapping distributions. To answer this question, which of the following is the best approach

Fruit bats in central america eat bananas and other fruits. banana plants rely on bats for pollination. what would be the most likely consequence on the banana crop if fruit bats were eliminated from the area? the banana crop would increase because bats would stop eating the crops. the banana crop would decrease because bats would no longer pollinate the crops. the banana crop would remain constant because bees would replace the bats. the banana crop would remain constant because the plants would adapt using asexual reproduction.
