ZOO 102 Geographic Distribution of Animal Life Objective Question

Question

A species that is limited to a specific range because it depends on a specific pollinator is an example of distribution shaped by:
Options
A Vicariance
B Continental drift
C Biotic interactions
Correct Answer
D Geological shifting
Correct Answer

Option C is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

The text states that biotic interactions like mutualism (e.g., depending on specific partners like pollinators) limit species ranges. Vicariance (A) refers to physical barriers, not biological dependencies.

Hint

Pollinators and symbionts fall under this category of life-on-life influence.
