WHAT IF? In the deserts of New mexico, the soils are mostly sandy, with occasional regions of black rock derived from lava flows that occurred 1,000 years ago. Mice are found in both sandy and rocky areas and owls are known predators. What might you expect about coat colors in these two mouse populations? Explain. How would you use this ecosystem to further test the camouflage hypothesis?
