In ‘competitive release’:
 
1. differences among similar species whose distributions overlap geographically are accentuated in regions where the species co-occur, but are minimized or lost where the species' distributions do not overlap.
2. two species which compete for the same limited resource cannot coexist at constant population values.
3. there is an expansion of the range of a species when a competitor for its niche is removed.
4. there is a division of limited resources by species to help avoid competition in an ecological niche.

1. the number of individuals in the pre-reproductive age group are more than the number of individuals in the reproductive age group.
2. the number of individuals in the reproductive age group are less than the number of individuals in the post-reproductive age group.
3. the number of individuals in the reproductive age group are equal to the number of individuals in the reproductive age group.
4. the number of individuals in the pre-reproductive age group are less than the number of individuals in the reproductive age group.
