Question

3. Using your knowledge of community ecology, list any species interactions taking place as well as determine if any of the species play specific roles in this community: In 1988, researchers set up a series of 50-meter \times 50-meter enclosures to investigate the effect of kangaroo rats, Dipodomys sp., on smaller seed-eating rodents, Reithrodontomys sp. The kangaroo rats and the smaller rodents compete for seeds from dessert grasses. They both prefer the smaller-seeded varieties of plants, but will not eat the same size of seeds if they are inhabiting the same area.
