In the autumn, many birds will collect seeds and then hide them in various caches throughout their habitat. The birds will guard
their caches from other birds, and move the caches if they start to dry out. These caches provide a food source for the birds during the winter. What is an abiotic factor that contributed to the evolution of this set of behaviors?
The abiotic factors are non-living factors in an ecosystem that affect the organisms and their lifestyle. In this case, low temperature and low humidity lead to the conditions that are unfavorable for birds. So, the birds must adapt to these factors by hiding the food in the caches.
