Is it advantageous for a predator to prey on a single prey species?
Not true.
Is it advantageous for a predator to prey exclusively on a single prey species?
Not true.
True or false if a prey population decreases the population of its predator probably will decrease as well-?
It is true to say that; If a prey population decreases, the population of its predator probably will decrease as well.
Is it true that Predator-prey is the most important type of ecological relationship?
No it is not true.
Is it true that an organism may be the prey in one relationship the predator in another?
True. The frog that is the prey of a fox is the predator that eats bugs. The seal that is the prey of the Killer Whale is the predator that eats fish. And the hiker that eats steak for dinner may meet with a grizzly bear.
Do the prey of one species might also be the predator of another species?
Yes.
True or false If a prey population decreases the population of its predator probably will decrease as well?
True. A decrease in prey population can lead to a decrease in the predator population due to reduced food availability. The predator population relies on the prey as a food source, so a decline in prey numbers can impact the predator population size.
What is predation ecology?
the killing of multiple individuals in one or more species-populations for use as a resource by each individual in another species population; the consumption of one animal (the prey) by another animal (the predator)
Is a sloth predator or prey?
People and scientist thought the sloth was not a prey even with its slow pace. But now a new true has been known. The sloth has fell prey to the spectacled owl. This bird measures less than 20 inches tall and weighs less than three pounds.
How does the population of prey affect the population of the predator?
Predator and prey evolve together. The prey is part of the predator's environment, and the predator dies if it does not get food, so it evolves whatever is necessary in order to eat the prey: speed, stealth, camouflage (to hide while approaching the prey), a good sense of smell, sight, or hearing (to find the prey), immunity to the prey's poison, poison (to kill the prey) the right kind of mouth parts or digestive system, etc. Likewise, the predator is part of the prey's environment, and the prey dies if it is eaten by the predator, so it evolves whatever is necessary to avoid being eaten: speed, camouflage (to hide from the predator), a good sense of smell, sight, or hearing (to detect the predator), thorns, poison (to spray when approached or bitten), etc. The fastest lions are able to catch food and eat, so they survive and reproduce, and gradually, faster lions make up more and more of the population. The fastest zebras are able to escape the lions, so they survive and reproduce, and gradually, faster zebras make up more and more of the population. An important thing to realize is that as both organisms become faster to adapt to their environments, their relationship remains the same: because they are both getting faster, neither gets faster in relation to the other. This is true in all predator-prey relationships.
What are the predator of sheep?
an wolf is a predator true i was doing my work and found out.
Is a possum a predator or a prey?
Possums are prey more than predators. True possums are native to Australia and should not be confused with opossums of North America, which are very different creatures. Possums are only predators of insects, or of birds' eggs and young chicks in New Zealand. However, they are prey of pythons, dogs, foxes and quolls.
