Community Ecology Word Problem

Pigeons and squirrels on a fairground consume peanuts and french fries. Both foods are essential to both consumers. Squirrels have R* values of 100/acre for peanuts and 80/acre for french fries. They consume french fries at a faster rate than peanuts. Pigeons have R* values of 50/acre for peanuts and 70/acre for french fries. They consume peanuts at a faster rate than french fries. Sketch the isoclines (ZNGI’s) and consumption vectors for the two species. Clearly label your axes, the lines, and any number values you have. Predict the outcome of the interaction between the two species, referring to the graph to support your prediction.
