Answer to q. 2

First, the question has already been stated. Next, hypotheses will be formulated: Is there a new predator killing the kangaroo rats? Or has urban sprawl ruined their habitat? Or might an interaction with another organism be preventing successful reproduction? After a bit of analysis of the population and the habitat in which they live, you may make a prediction. In this particular case, it appears to be urban sprawl. This would then be tested with an experiment and observations. Populations both near and far from development would be studied to see if there is differential death due to predation, disease, parasites, etc. Population size of kangaroo rats living close to development would be estimated using live traps and compared to populations of kangaroo rats living far from developed areas. If the population close to new development is significantly lower than those far from developing areas, our hypothesis is supported.

Thank you for answering correctly!
