They are asked to figure out the relationships between pairs of species by doing standard ecological experiments (removals, additions, etc.). Among the potential relationships are scramble competition, predation, indirect competition, and so on. This lab provides a fun way to engage students to think critically about interspecific interactions and about how to set up ecological experiments.\r\n\x3c/span\x3e\x3cbr/\x3e\n\x3cbr/\x3e\n\x3cstrong\x3eLevel\x3c/strong\x3e: Advanced\x3cbr/\x3e\n\x3cstrong\x3eKey Concepts\x3c/strong\x3e: Competition; Ecological experimentation\x3cbr/\x3e\n\x3cstrong\x3eCourses\x3c/strong\x3e: Community Ecology; Ecology\x3cbr/\x3e\n          \x3cbr/\x3e\x3ca href=\"/search_result_details/brief/69\" class=\"node_brief\"\x3eRead less\x3c/a\x3e        \x3cbr/\x3e\x3ca href=\"/cart/add/69?dest=search_result_details%2F69\x26amp;dest_query=\"\x3e + Add to course collection\x3c/a\x3e  \x3c/span\x3e \x3c!-- description --\x3e\n" }
