    Need a suggestion for finding two non-human species
    [F]
    I'm not looking for anyone to do my work for me or anything like that. I've seen similar questions like the one I'm asking, only difference is is that I just need a suggestion or some ideas.

    I need to choose two non-human species that either interact with each other or compete for a biology assignment. I know how to do everything else just can't seem to find anything that fits what I need.:confused:

    If anyone could just give me some ideas so I know what it is I'm looking for I'd be very grateful.

    Thank you:)

    Are you looking for species that are around a typical house, or something you would order from a biological supply house, or something out in woods or similar where you live?

    I mean you could just look at robins and earth worms on a lawn. But if you need something in cages in your house in or in a lab, that's a different problem. We need more information. It also depends on what kind of experiment you are planning to set up. What are you trying to measure?

    Just as an aside, competition experiments can b difficult to set up, since species tend to avoid competing if they can. So even if they eat the same food, for example, they might eat at different times of day or eat the same food in different seasons, or eat different parts of the same plant.

    Some dogs and cats interact somewhat.
    Not sure what you are looking for either.

    Thanks for the help, no I wasn't doing an actual experiement. Was for my biology class with my online college, was just confused as to what to look for for information on how they interact with each other. But got it taken care of and all finished now. Thanks for the help!
