In studies of two species of barnacles in the marine intertidal zone it was observed that Chthamalus can live in the upper intertidal zone and the lower intertidal zone if Semibalanus is absent, and Semibalanus can only live in the lower zone because it is more subject to dehydration. Based on this, which of the following statements are true? Check all that apply.  

_____  The realized niches of the two species differ.
_____  The fundamental niche of Chthamalus is larger than its realized niche.
_____  The fundamental niche of Chthamalus is larger than the fundamental niche of Semibalanus.
_____  The fundamental and the realized niches of Chthamalus are the same.
_____  The fundamental and the realized niches of Semibalanus are the same.


__X__  The realized niches of the two species differ.
__X__  The fundamental niche of Chthamalus is larger than its realized niche.
__X__  The fundamental niche of Chthamalus is larger than the fundamental niche of Semibalanus.
_____  The fundamental and the realized niches of Chthamalus are the same.
