PICTURE JEOPARDY!
Identify if there is primary or secondary succession shown in the picture.
What is primary succession?

Suppose two species of squirrels living in the same habitat feed on the same type of nut. Describe two possible outcomes of competition between the two squirrel species.
What is one species may have better adaptations and therefore the other species would die off, or the two species could develop seperate niches, or one species might emigrate from the area?
