Summarize Argument: Phenomenon-Hypothesis

The sparseness of Australia’s ecosystems explains why it has the fewest species of carnivorous mammals but an average number of carnivorous reptile species. How? Scarce resources present carnivorous mammals with a disadvantage that carnivorous reptiles don’t face.

Identify Conclusion

The conclusion is a causal explanation for the carnivorous species difference: “This is probably a consequence of the unusual sparseness of Australia's ecosystems.”
