Check all that apply.
A) Limited availability of habitat in areas where plants have low13C
B) Higher insect biomass in areas where plants have low13C
C) A lack of territorial behavior being displayed by American redstarts
D) Differences in food quality correlating with levels of 13C in the habitat
E) Similar flora and fauna in all redstart habitats,unrelated to levels of 13C
