Two opinionsYour explanation is as good as your friends in one major respect. Both opinions explain why the different species dominate in different areas. Both models also make a viable attempt to explain the observed patterns, but the explanations as such are totally different. One explanation implies that the different species of mussels affect one another so that they don't coexist optimally. The other emphasizes environmental variations: The two species of mussels cannot grow well in the same salt concentration. Falsification
