Based on the story of Frog and Toad. The figure above (Fig. 1) is a 2-dimensional representation of a space for frog (in the absence of a competing species) based on the combination of two variables: moisture Relative Humidity (RH]) and temperature (C). Size of the frog icon corresponds to how well it does in terms of ecologic fitness) at various positions along these two environmental gradients. Flattened frogs indicate dead frogs: environmental conditions which are unsuitable for the frog's survival and reproduction. Italicized letters and numbers (on top) represent coordinates. Unitalicized numbers adjacent to the arrows represent values for either RH (the vertical arrow) or temperature (the horizontal arrow)

At point 19 this species

a. Can persist

b. Will go extinct

C. Will increase in numbers 5.

No, only because temperature LEVELS A new species of toad is introduced. Toads are typically more desiccation tolerant. It can persist between 32-40 C and between 40-55 %RH. Does its niche overlaps with that of the frog?

a. Yes, at c7d7

b. Yes, atg77

C. Yes, at c9+c10

d. No Can't tell berted to respond?
