Suppose a team of scientists uncovers a new species of small, predatory mammal deep in the jungles of South America. To better understand the organism's history, each member of the scientific team investigates a different aspect of the animal's ecology. For each investigation, identify the type of ecological system each researcher is studying.
a. Alicia investigates how the mammal uses its acute sense of hearing to navigate its surroundings.individual
b. Jason investigates how interactions between the mammal species and different types of prey influence the amount of available nitrogen in the area.ecosystem
c. Rebecca investigates how the mammal interacts with its offspring and potential mates.population
d. Sam investigates the predator-prey dynamics between the mammal species and its primary prey species.community
