Rabbits can eat many plants, but they prefer some plants over others. Assume that the rabbits in a grassland community containing many plant species prefer to eat a species of grass that happens to be a superior competitor. If the rabbits are removed from the region, predict whether relative species abundance will increase or decrease, and whether species richess will increase or decrease.

Ecological adaptations

An ecological adaptation is any morphological, physiological, or behavioral trait of an organism that allows it to survive and reproduce in a habitat or ecosystem. Adaptation is a biological mechanism by which an organism gradually gets more acclimated to its surroundings.
