Gause's principle of competitive exclusion is, essentially:

1. the more abundant species will exclude the less abundant species through competition

2. competition for the same resources excludes species having different lifestyles

3. no two species can occupy the same niche indefinitely when resources are limited

4. larger organisms exclude smaller ones through competition as in the case of large trees controlling underbush.

The logistic growth curve of animal population growth is more realistic than J shaped curve because:

1. Asexual mode of reproduction is rare in higher animals

2. Resources are finite and become limiting sooner or later.

3. Most animals are conformers rather than regulators

4. Abiotic factors affect animals more than plants
