Answers to Students Guide Questions:
1. Based on the class data the animal found most in an owls diet is the vole, which makes up 30.46% of their monthly consumption.
3. It would be much more energy efficient to catch 1 vole instead of 35 insects because even though there would be the same amount of food but to catch 35 insects would take 35 trips to catch and the vole would take only 1 trip.
5. If all the shrew in one area left or died it would not affect the owl population at all because according to the classes data shrews only make up 1.068% of the owls diet and if their not there the owls would either go get something else to hunt or just leave 1.068% of their stomach hungrier then usual.
