I gave my students this multiple choice question: How would the woodpecker population in a forest area most likely be affected if a housing development is built in that area?

Only one answer is correct among these 4 choices:
- They would produce more offspring.
- They would change the color of their feathers.
- They would experience a decrease in available food.
- They would experience a decrease in competition.

Could you tell me which one is correct?

They would experience a decrease in available food.
