2. Another parasitic example is the wasp that causes galls to the trees.The plant produces the galls in order to create a source of food and shelter in which its larvae can develop. The plant suffers wasted energy and nutrients that go into the extra growth. ]]> 2019-02-11 10:05:38 UTC https://padlet.com/angyfun/ow4njqv2ew01/wish/329780768 angyfun https://padlet.com/angyfun/ow4njqv2ew01/wish/329780986 1.Three birds from different species are fed from the same Spuce tree.

Energy is lost in any form of heat . In the Forest of Chaidou producers(plants) give food to the primary consumers such as insects ,herbivore mammals (ex.squirrels,rabbits) and they become food for the secondary consumers(foxes,snakes) which are eaten by the tertiary consumers that eat only flesh (ex.hawks,bears etc.).]]> 2019-02-11 10:43:39 UTC https://padlet.com/angyfun/ow4njqv2ew01/wish/329791106 angyfun https://padlet.com/angyfun/ow4njqv2ew01/wish/329825256 Two species of snakes, Typhlops vermicularis and Zamenis situla are considered extinct in the area of Westerd Rhodopes mountain(Bulgaria & Greece).]]> 2019-02-11 12:52:42 UTC https://padlet.com/angyfun/ow4njqv2ew01/wish/329825256 angyfun https://padlet.com/angyfun/ow4njqv2ew01/wish/329835199 Luckily there is no wildlife overexploitation because in 1980 the Chaidou area was characterised as "Monument of nature.
