In africa, grasses are the main vegetation in savanna communities. acacias and other trees are few and widely scattered. elephants range over very large territories and are not very abundant in any one location. however, they strongly affect the community by uprooting and consuming trees and shrubs, maintaining suitable habitat for grasses and grassland animals. many species of birds and insects live in the savanna grasses. which of the species or groups above would best be described as foundation species? birds and insects grasses acacia trees elephants

Scenario 5 1) take 10 red and 10 black beans and place them, mixed, on the table. record the starting phenotype # and frequencies (% of your total population) of your starting population in the table provided (generation 0). 2) act as a predator. “capture” as many organisms as you can until you have reduced the population to three organisms. put them aside. at this point, the predators die. 3) the remaining organisms each produce 2 clonal offspring. multiply your organisms accordingly and allow them to mix on the table. calculate and record the resultant phenotype # and frequencies (% of your total population) of your population in the table provided (generation 1). 4) repeat the reproduction event, allowing each of your organisms to produce 2 clonal offspring. calculate and record the resultant phenotype # and frequencies (% of your total population) of your population in the table provided (generation 2). 5) repeat the reproduction event, allowing each of your organisms to produce 2 clonal offspring. calculate and record the resultant phenotype # and frequencies (% of your total population) of your population in the table provided (generation 3).
