1) Lets say there also are owls in this community. Owls have very few predators. Like coyotes, they hunt mainly at night. They eat small rodents, insects, and even other birds. What word best describes the species interaction between the coyotes and the owls in this community?

2) Coyotes are described as "opportunistic omnivores" that eat a wide variety of food sources based on availability. Given this, would you describe coyotes as specialists, or generalists? Your manager is concerned that the coyotes will be unable to survive in their new habitat in a nearby park - is there good reason to be concerned about this? Explain your answer.

3) Looking at our simple food chain as a trophic pyramid, it might look something like this. The sizes of the boxes approximately represent the amount of available energy. Would you call this an open system, or a closed system. Why?
