Question

bluebirds are birds that live in open woodland areas. they prey on many different kinds of bugs, including beetles. cnemidophorus sexlineatus or \six - lined racerunners\ are a type of lizard that also lives in open woodland areas. they prey on many insects including beetles. in order to survive, animals need to acquire resources. beetles are a key resource for both of these organisms. biological relationships claim - evidence - reasoning organisms involved: and claim (classify the relationship) evidence (supporting details) reasoning (make the connection)

Explanation:

The organisms involved are bluebirds and Cnemidophorus sexlineatus (Six - lined racerunners). They both prey on beetles. This is a form of competition as they are both trying to obtain the same resource (beetles) in the open woodland area. The evidence is that bluebirds prey on bugs including beetles and Six - lined racerunners also prey on insects including beetles. The reasoning is that in nature, when two or more organisms rely on the same limited resource, competition occurs.

Answer:

Organisms involved: Bluebirds and Six - lined racerunners
Claim: Competition
Evidence: Bluebirds prey on bugs including beetles. Six - lined racerunners prey on insects including beetles.
Reasoning: When organisms rely on the same limited resource (beetles in this case) in the same habitat (open woodland), competition ensues.
