A decrease in the prey population
An increase in a predator will directly result in?
A decrease in the prey population
How will the size of a predator population affect the numbers of prey?
This will depend on the specific ecosystem and the specific predator and prey relationship being examined within that ecosystem. If, as an oversimplified example, a drought caused a reduction in edible plant foods for a prey animal, the population of said prey animal may decrease. If the prey population decreased, there would not be enough food to support the current predator population, and a number of the predators would die until a balance was reached.The overall idea is fairly simple, however. If weather conditions are favorable to the increase of the population of a prey species, then the prey species's population will increase, all other things being equal. When the population of a prey species increases, then more of the offspring of the predator species can survive, allowing the population of the predator to increase. If weather somehow decreases the population of a prey animal, then this will also reduce the population of the predator species, all other things being equal.It is important to remember, however, that ecosystems are very complicated and it is rare that a predator will only have one prey item and a prey item will have only one predator. As a result, if a changed condition caused one prey species to decrease but another one to increase, the predator population may not be affected, and so on.

What factor will most likely result in an increase in the size of an animal population?
An increase in the availability of food, a decrease in predation pressure, or an improvement in reproductive success are factors that can lead to an increase in the size of an animal population.

Decrease in fox population is a result in?
There are many contributing factors that could be the cause for a decrease in fox population. Over population, not enough food, disease, or over hunting or poaching any of these could be the reason for a decrease in the population.

Explain how population sizes in nature are regulated?
The two primary factors that determine a population's size are the availability of food, and the prevalence of predators.In the abscence of predators, a population will grow until the food it consumes becomes equal to the food that is provided by the ambient ecosystem, available to the relevant population through the food chain. After that, the population cannot grow more unless the ecosytem suddenly is capable of providing more food.Predators regulate populations as a result of the connection between predators and prey in ecosystems. If there is an increase in the size of the prey population, more food will be available to the predators, so their population will also grow. The increased predator population will put downward pressure on the prey population as the predators feed upon them. If the prey population suffers substantial decreases, the predator population will also suffer knock-on decreases as there will be less food available to them.
