Question
answer these questions using the food web for the Midwestern oak-maple community (Fig. 1).
Explanations of the different types of indirect interactions are provided in Fig. 2.
1. List all the apparent competition interactions, using the format "prey 1 – shared predator - prey 2"
(e.g., fox squirrel - gray fox – gray squirrel)
2. List all the resource competition interactions, using the format "predator 1 – shared prey – predator 2"
(e.g., fox squirrel - oak – gray squirrel)
3. List a minimum of ten trophic cascades, using the format “predator – prey – prey...etc." (e.g., gray fox
- fox squirrel – oak)
