thats true. but you can't always rely on your partner for everything
I don't rely on my partner for everything, but he's the real Bio person, I was just stuck on this event because I had the timeslot free... so he knows more than I do on this event.

There's a quite a bit of secondary succession found in grassland ecology. In fact, in my opinion, it's probably the most important part of prairie ecology as well as forest ecology (especially at the level of this event). Ecosystem processes are what I preferred to study when preparing for the chosen biomes. It's somewhat irritating how the majority of event supervisors tend to focus on adaptations with the biomes rather than ecological processes or population structures. Population and community ecology are obviously much more fun than organism (ecophysiology/behavioral) ecology. :)

have any of you guys encountered a graph of a lizard/other animal's life, and had to predict how the future generations will live, what climate and biome it lives in?

I have never heard of that, I have done habitat(ex:if this keeps happening to the habitat then in three years what would it be surrounded by.) graphs but those are easy for me.

You mean like a population graph? Or a type I/type II/type III kind of survival probability graph?

Or do you mean like a predator/prey relationship graph?

definitely not a population graph, those are pretty easy, yeah, probably a type I, II, or III survival probability graph

it was something weird that we have never heard of b4 in the rules, and it came up at regionals but not at states.
it gives u a timeline of some kind of animal, and than u predict the life cycle and stuff of generations of that animal
