The graph shows species of parrots found in the rainforests of Brazil. Over the past 300 years, much of the area that was once
dense rainforest has been destroyed and is now being used as commercial farmland. This has caused dispersal of the parrot
populations to different parts of the country.
You and your lab partner are preparing to present your conclusions about the habitats of the parrot populations to the class. Your
lab partner claims that the deep rainforest is still the preferred environment of the parrots. You disagree. What reason do you give?
A)
There are not as many red parrots in the scrub forest.
Almost no red parrots currently live in the rainforest.
The blue parrot population has remained large in the deep rainforest.
Although there are a great number of green parrots in the deep rainforest,
the greatest number of parrots is found in the scrub forest.
