  1. Grab a piece of paper and try this problem yourself.
  2. When you're done, check the "I have answered this question" box below.
  3. View the solution and report whether you got it right or wrong.
Two closely related species of woodpeckers live in Canada. The black variety lives in coniferous forests while the yellow variety in deciduous forests. In the United States however, the black woodpecker is not a native species while the yellow variety is and lives in the deciduous and coniferous forests. What does this say about the habitat of this organism?




More Community Ecology Questions:
It was found that guppies (live-bearing fish), when raised in predator free waters, produce larger sized offspring that mature slowly. This is in comparison to guppies raised in the presence of predators whereby the progeny are smaller, mature quicker and reproduce earlier. What phenomena is occurring?
In a forest community three species of rodents exists: mice, rats and voles. All three species eat the same types of nuts although they eat only what is appropriate for their size. A snake species that lives in this forest preys on all three rodents. One year, due to human intervention, the snake population is largely depleted and remains low for several years. Following this low species population there is an increase in the population of the rats while the voles and mice population decreases. What can be said about the snake in this ecosystem?
