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. | Species X has a competitive advantage over species Y for food. |
| 2. | Species X and Y exhibit a predator-prey relationship. |
| 3. | An increase in the population of species X would benefit the population of species Y. |
| 4. | Species Y is likely to be a K-selected species due to its predatory behaviour. |
