Changes in environmental conditions always result in new ecosystems and loss of biodiversity characterized by an increase in the number of some species, the evolution of new species, and the extinction of some species.

Changes to the environmental conditions can indeed result in new ecosystems and a change in the species equilibrium.

The abiotic conditions of an ecosystem determine the kind of species that will inhabit the ecosystem

A change to the abiotic or environmental conditions will likely result in a new ecosystem entirely. Organisms that are able to adapt to the changes will gradually fade off the ecosystem while those that are able to withstand the changes will proliferate and dominate the populations of organisms in the ecosystem.

Data Analysis:
Part 1: In your data tables, you recorded the percentage of the rate of survival for both the white and brown rabbit in both the light-colored and the dark-colored environments.
Part 2: Using your percentages in part 1, create a graph that represents the rate of survival for the white and brown rabbits in each type of environment.
Insert chart [Hint: don’t forget to consider the relationship between your data and the type of graph to best represent your data. A bar graph would be the best option to analyze this data.]
Conclusion:
Be sure to answer the following reflection questions in the conclusion of your lab report:
Were your hypotheses correct or incorrect? Why or why not?
Using Table 1, which color rabbit had the higher rate of survival in the light-colored (white) environment? Explain why this occurred.
Using Table 2, which color rabbit had the higher rate of survival in the dark-colored (brown) environment? Explain why this occurred.
What color rabbit seemed to camouflage the best in this snow habitat, and why?
Questions:
Using what you have learned from the lesson and the virtual lab activity, answer the following questions in complete sentences.
How did the colors of each type of prey affect its population size over time?
How do you predict the data would change if you continued? Explain your answer.
What traits could help a predator be more "fit" to survive in each environment? Be specific.
Describe other adaptations besides color that could affect an individual's survival.
Explain what will happen if there are not enough resources to support the individuals in a species.
This experiment tested natural selection. What could be another possible mechanism of evolution for the rabbits to evolve? Be specific.
