The purpose of this lab is to observe the relationship between predator and prey populations as well as to observe the effects of competition in regards to space/habitat and food supply. It is also to observe some of the major factors that contribute to population increases and decreases and to learn how to plot data to observe patterns. I can determine the relationship between the predator and prey by analyzing the correlation between the two. I believe that the results will show that the predator

Introduction In Ecology‚ available resources are a key aspect to the vitality of organisms. Certain resources obtained from the environment have a distinct influence on population distribution and density in communities. These resources are often limiting factors in the carrying capacity of a particular species in an ecosystem. An example of resource limitation that affects the population of an ecological community is the dependency of hermit crabs on snail shell availability. Hermit crab species
