Learning Objectives

At the end of this simulation, you will be able to:

Analyze the impact of trade-offs on niche limitations and delineations.
Quantify the degree to which acclimation broadens the ecological niche of a species.
Depict ecological niches through the utilization of n-dimensional hypervolumes.
Empirically ascertain the fundamental niche of a species through controlled experimentation.
Establish a controlled experiment to evaluate how uncomplicated variables impact the ecological niche of a species.
Quantify the effective range of a species within its realized niche.

How do virtual labs work?
