  Bird Bills and Feeding Strategies
  
  “Competitive, Interaction, Simulations”
  
  Problem: How are differences in the success of different bill types related to the food item being gathered?
  
  Research: “Ecological Principles or Generalizations”
  
  Principle of Competitive Exclusion - No two kinds of organisms can have exactly the same resource needs and live at the same place at the same time and coexist.
  
  Law of Adaptation - “Both individuals and species adapt to their environment. Individuals make behavioral adjustments. Species make genetic adjustments which lead to species specialization and species diversity.”
  
  “A diverse ecosystem can support a larger number of organisms than a less diverse ecosystem. Diversity is an indication of ecosystem health.”
  
  Natural Selection - Ecological Principles
  
  “Differences in size or shape can be shown to have different fitness in some environments.”
  
  “Fitness can be defined for predators as requiring a minimum number of food items for reproduction at 0, 1, 2, or 3 per individual per generation.”
  
  “For prey, survival permits maximum reproduction at the end of each generation.”
