INTRODUCTION: The environment may be changed by the things within the biotic community, as well as relationship between organisms and the nonliving environment. The carrying capacity of an ecosystem is the maximum number of organisms that an area can support over time. The density of a population may cause huge changes in the environment so that the environment becomes unstable for the survival of that species. Humans can mess up natural selection and have either a positive or negative effect. OBJECTIVES Graph data on the Kaibab deer population of Arizona from 1905-1939. Analyze the factors that caused the changes in the deer population. PROCEDURE: Before 1905, there was an estimated 4000 deer on almost 30,000 hectacres of land on the Kaibab Plateau in Arizona. The average carrying capacity of the land at that time was estimated to be about 30,000 deer. Being concerned about the low number of deer, President Theodore Roosevelt created the Grand Canyon National Game Preserve to…

A niche is loosely defined as an organism's role in its environment, which can include factors such as feeding preference, nesting behaviors, mating behaviors, method of obtaining prey, and local habitats. Keeping Gause's law in mind, do some research on the California red-legged frog and the North Pacific tree frog (use wiki or another Google search). Create a chart comparing the two with respect to their niche or lifestyle that can explain how these two frogs can co-exist in the same ecosystem.
