11. The ecological niches of three bird species are shown in the accompanying diagram. What is the advantage of each bird species having a different niche? Cape May warblers feed in the upper area of the tree. Bay-breasted warblers feed in the middle of the tree. Yellow-rumped warblers feed in the lower part of the tree. 1. As the birds feed higher in the tree, available energy increases. 2. More abiotic resources are available for each bird. 3. Predators are less likely to feed on birds in a variety of locations. 4. There is less competition for food.

6. Mant top level consumers are large carnivores. Explain how their size affects or is affected by the dynamics of energy, biomass and/or numbers pyramids. 7. What other factors in an ecosystem may affect pyramid shapes for that ecosystem? 8. What level of an ecological pyramid would contain humans? Please explain your choice. 9. Many farmers use pesticides on their fields to keep pests from eating their crops. These pesticides, however, can have serious, negative effects on other organisms thaat interact with the ecosystem. For that reason, some people have suggested that bringing in predators to eat the pests would be a better soulution than pesticides. a. Explain what affeccts bringing predators in could have on the ecosystem. b. Which level of organisms is most susceptible to extinction. Please support your answer.

3. An ecologist studying the trophic structure of a lake constructed the pyramid of biomass below. He is puzzled because the bottom of the pyramid (the producer biomass) is smaller than the next level (the primary consumer biomass).
