Measuring species interactions and resulting population changes can be challenging. It often requires intensive field work over several seasons and locations, extensive funding, and numerous skilled scientists. Simulations allow us to learn about species interactions and population dynamics through play and exploration. This ecological simulation is an opportunity to experiment with species interactions in order to learn about different potential outcomes. Responses to follow-up questions should be based on the simulation results and content from your textbook, as well as other scholarly or credible sources.  To complete the ecology laboratory assignment for this week, follow the steps below: •Read this week’s assigned chapters •Download and review the Ecology Laboratory Instructions (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. and follow the steps indicated. •Download the Ecology Laboratory Reporting Form (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.. All of the data will be reported and the questions answered directly on this form. This is the form that you will submit to Waypoint for grading.  When completed, save the Ecology Laboratory Reporting Form (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. as a Word document. No title page or headers are necessary. If you include any outside resources to complete the questions, then they should be formatted according to APA
