Resource Partitioning

After taking a few moments to observe evidence of resource partitioning in trees, I was fascinated to discover that it's a home to many different species. In just the few moments that I spent watching the activity on the tree, I was able to identify many different species of bugs. For example, I saw ants, spiders, and a centipede. It is also possible that if I were able to reach high enough to grab a leaf, I might notice bits of the leaf gone, which would offer greater evidence of insect species. Also, I saw two squirrels chasing one another up the trunk and into the branches of the tree. I also noticed that there were birds in and around the tree, though I could hear them much better than I could see them. I could also identify evidence of different plant species that surrounding the tree. Overall, I could account for many varying types of insect, animal, and plant species.
