Cowbirds have a parasitic relationship with other bird species. which change in a limiting factor would decrease the carrying capacity for wood thrushes in the mid-story of a mixed-oak forest? a. decrease in the cowbird population size b. decrease in the insect population size c. increase in the amount of space d. increase in the number of nesting sites (this is actually science but i couldn't fin science in the pick a subject box so i just picked a random one)

A limiting factor is something in a ecosystem that limits the growth of a species. In this case, cowbirds are limiting factors to wood thrushes because they lay eggs in the nests of wood thrushes, which is called "nest parasitism." A decrease in the carrying capacity—the number of living organisms that a region can support (without environmental degradation)—of wood thrushes could be caused by a decrease in the insect population size. The less insects, the less food. With less resources, the carrying capacity will decrease for wood thrushes. If the cowbird population were decreased, or the space or number of nesting sites were increased, the carrying capacity would increase, instead.

Assuming this is a question on a test just name a restaurant by your house and the state you live in, its not too difficult : )
