Q. Consider the following statements:

1. The Abingdon tortoise in Galapagos Islands became extinct due to the introduction of greater browsing goats.
2. The fitness of one species is significantly lower in the presence of another species in competition.

Which of the above statements is / are correct?
Answer: Both 1 and 2
Notes: The Abingdon tortoise went extinct in the Galapagos Islands after the introduction of goats, due to the goats' more efficient browsing. Competition is scientifically described as a process in which the fitness of one species decreases in the presence of another. Both statements are therefore accurate descriptions of ecological processes and events.
