Problem:
Pigeons and squirrels on a fairground consume peanuts and french fries. Both foods are essential to both consumers. Squirrels have R* values of 100/acre for peanuts and 80/acre for french fries. They consume french fries at a faster rate than peanuts. Pigeons have R* values of 50/acre for peanuts and 70/acre for french fries. They consume peanuts at a faster rate than french fries. Sketch the isoclines (ZNGI’s) and consumption vectors for the two species. Clearly label your axes, the lines, and any number values you have.
Required:
Question: Predict the outcome of the interaction between the two species, referring to the graph to support your prediction.
Please describe.
