You observed the two species of barnacles, species 1 and species 2, occupy upper and lower strata of intertidal rocks, respectively. Only when species 1 was removed by you from the upper strata, species 2 could occupy both the upper and lower strata. From the choice given below what would be your inference from these observations.
