Answer:

Streams can be found in Palm Beach County and include the Miami river.

Explanation:

Florida's rivers are characterized by their acidity and their rapidness of the river, from moderate to swift.

Average amount of water: 14,300 million gallons

Unique characteristics: they provide shelter for many animals during the winter

3 common producers:

1.  Black bear - wolves

2. Alligator - raccoons eat small ones

3. Algae - zooplankton

_________________________

6 common consumers:

1. blues whales

- prey on krill, Gulfs as shelter, niche: temperate seas

2. manatees

- herbivores, eat floating vegetations and turtle grass, warm water springs, niche: natural areas for winter refugees

3. shrimps

- prey on clams and snails, built shelter in sponges located on muddy, sandy places, niche: water floor

4.  barracuda fish

- prey on fishes like small tunas, shelter is mainly sea, niche is water that is salty

5. crocodiles

- insects, fish, frogs, shelter: mound nest, niche: warm environment

6. lobster

- fish and crabs, shelter: rock and gravel with algae on top of it,  niche: rocky waters

_____________________________________________

Scavenger: opossums are helpful because they eat unpleasant insects

mutualism: alligator and birds, teeth cleaned alligator, bird gets food from teeth

parasitism: lichen, on surface of algae

commensalism: bird flies in alligator mouth, decomposer break down prey when done

Endangered: shortnose sturgeon and piping plover

Food chain:

grass eaten by grasshopper, eaten by frog, eaten by snake, eaten by raccoons, eaten by alligator

Competition between species:

need the same food which is limited in supply of resources. Animals also need good living conditions.
