Acacia hrowienino As previously mentioned, impala will largely avoid wooded areas where their
risk of leopard predation is much greater. In such areas, short thorn acacias are the dominant
species while long thorn acacias are more common interspersed in the more open grass
dominated areas (both trees consistently produce these spines lengths). Also in areas when
leopards are absent, impala will spend more of their time within wooded regions grazing on trees
and in such areas long thorn acacia abundance is markedly increased. In which type of
community. leopards present or leopards absent would short thorn and long thorn acacia trees
occupy a greater portion of their fundamental niche and why?.
