If species 1 is a strong competitor and species 2 weak, then:
“Extinction of species 2” for if species 1 is a strong competitor and species 2 weak, then. This relationship follows from the ecological mechanism represented by the terms in the item, not merely from an association between their names. Coexistence requires stabilizing differences that make each species limit itself more strongly than it limits its competitor, or an equalizing process that keeps fitness differences small. Without such mechanisms, persistent competitive asymmetry tends toward exclusion. The remaining alternatives—“Coexistence”, “Extinction of species 1”, “Both go extinct”—refe
