Due to resource partitioning, zebra relative density changes over time and grass height.

<h3>What is resource partitioning?</h3>
  • Resource partitioning is the process by which due to natural selection, competing species use different resources and niches.
  • In the case of African savanna, right after peak rain all the three grazers (zebra, wildebeest, and Thomson’s gazelle) have high density.
  • After rain in one month relative density of zebras is maximum but it becomes nearly zero after three months due to high density of wildebeest and then increases a little after six months.
  • The density of zebras is greatest when the grass is tallest and most abundant because of resource partitioning as zebras get the most out of eating tall grass.
  • Zebras can eat and digest faster taller grasses with many stems.
  • This gives them an advantage over other grazers in terms of nutrition when the grass is tall.

As energy is transferred through
vfiekz [6]

As energy is transferred through  an ecosystem, not all trophic  levels receive the same amount.  The marine ecosystem consists of primary producers like phytoplanktons; primary consumers like zooplanktons, krill; secondary consumers like leopard seals; and tertiary consumers like killer whales.

Explanation:

In an oceanic or marine ecosystem,  the leopard seals are secondary consumers. They basically feed on the primary consumers. They are eaten up by the tertiary consumers. The prey animals of leopard seal includes primary consumers like small fishes, zooplanktons, coral polyps, krill etc. The energy level in the food web increases in a top to down pattern. The producers which occupy the base level will be with high energy and going up the food web, the energy will decrease subsequently. Leopard seals are huge and eat
