>Species Diet
For any organism to grow, it is a requirement that it takes in nutrients. Where those come from and how they’re taken is much more variable. How does your species eat?
>Autotroph: Your species is on the bottom of the food chain, in that it relies on its environment alone to survive. This strategy is extremely stable and inefficient for growth if unrefined.
>Herbivore: Your species consumes autotrophs to further process the nutrients they’ve already generated. This strategy is consistent but can be risky between adaptations in the food source and in predators.
>Carnivore: Your species consumes herbivores to further process the nutrients they’ve already processed. This strategy is dangerous but has a high-reward in intake and in selection pressure.
>Scavenger: Your species consumes the carcasses of dead organisms to subsist on what scraps remain before microorganisms can finish the job. This strategy is low-risk with some reward and a massive amount of competition.
