You are working on a project in a desert that has never been explored and you want to determine what species of insects interact with one another.You need to first learn what species are found in the ecosystem you will study.Therefore,you start by going to your site and making _______.
A) Field experiments to test species interactions
B) Observations to learn species distributions and abundances
C) Applied scientific results
D) A mathematical model to calculate the number of species that you will encounter

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Making observations to learn species distributions and abundances is the best starting point to determine what species are present in the ecosystem. This information is crucial for further research on species interactions and behavior. Field experiments and mathematical models can come later after basic information about the species in the ecosystem has been obtained. Applied scientific results may not be available or applicable in this situation.
