3. Food Web
• As seen in the previous slide, deer feast on
grass, among some other plants, and are
preyed on by cougars.
• They exist on the second trophic level, as
primary consumers.
4. Biome
• They are located in temperate deciduous
forests throughout Southeast Asia
• This biome is changing, and therefore not able
t support as many organisms due to locals
stripping trees of bark, cutting and using the
trees to excess and man-made forest fires.
7. Biodiversity
• This species is endangered, which may ruin
the biodiversity of its ecosystem
• It has a big role because it is one of the main
ways energy from plants can be transferred to
tertiary consumers
8. Adaptive Radiation
• When starting to live in habitats with wetter
grounds a member of this species (Panolia
eldii eldi) developed special hooves, which let
it fill a niche in its ecosystem, that is different
from where other deer live.
• Species with more solid ground have hooves
suited for that terrain
9. Adaptations
• It has hooves to allow it to easily traverse the
ground
• Due to ancestors who lacked adequate
resources it has improved food acquiring and
processing organs
• For example, bigger and more complex teeth.

11. Evolution
• The Irish Elk was an ancestor of this species,
whose most recent fossils date roughly 7700
years
• It stood 2.1 meters tall, had the largest
antlers, which could reach lengths of 3.65
meters and it said to weigh up to 700 kg

13. Succession
• Primary succession would have no effect
because the species lives in an ecosystem that
already has soil
• Secondary succession would greatly effect the
species because while the biome may
eventually heal, the species will be without
food for a prolonged time
