Answer 2

Shelford’s law of tolerance suggests that organisms with a wide tolerance limit for environmental factors show: (ii) Wide distribution with high population.

• According to Shelford’s law of tolerance, various environmental factors such as temperature, biological requirements etc. determine the population and distribution of a species.
• Each species has a particular minimum, optimum and maximum tolerance limit for various environmental conditions.
• Organisms having a wide tolerance limit will have wide distribution with a high population while organisms having a narrow tolerance limit will have restricted distribution with a low population.
