2PsychologyQuestion 1Competition-food storing birds and non-food storing passerines are competing for the same foodin this environment. However, Food storing passerines birds will survive the competition of "survival for fitness" due to their natural feature of creating "cache" going for a long time without food as compared to non-food storing passerines.Limited resources-The same birds are competing for the same resources so there is full utilization of available limited resources. Food storing birds will be favorite for this environment as they store more food. This climate will not favor non-food storing birds as they don't store food.Variation-non-food storing birds will have the best variation in this environment. Food storing birds in this order would vary in terms of food storage as they create more "cache". Non-food storing birds will vary by adapting to the environment with scarcity resources.Differential survival –the food creating birds of this order will survive longer in this climate as their feature of storing food for a long time and large hippocampus is adventitious.Heritability-the food creating birds will definitely survive this climate. However, with time the generations of food creating birds will be inherited to offspring as they will still be inherited to their offspring. Genetic drift –there is the possibility that with time non-food creating birds will drift as resources continue to be limited with time.
