Does the population size increase or decrease at higher trophic levels in the pyramid of numbers of an ecosystem consisting of any herbivores and birds feeding on the insects?

Population sizes decrease at higher trophic levels. If they increased the insects population would decrease meaning there would be less food available for the birds so their population size would then decrease. Look at the relationships between predator and prey species for more information

How will this effect the ecosystem as a whole?
The shrimp population will increase which will cause an increase in the squid population.
Which part of an ecosystem would be hurt if humans over hunted a herbivore?
Other herbivores
What might happen if the population of hawks in ecosystem grows very large?
there would be less nutrients for the plant.
What factors affect the populations in an?
One factor that can affect the populations in an ecosystem is that, if an ecosystem had owls with no predators, the owl population would increase and eat all the mice in the ecosystems. The population of the mice would decrease more and more.
How can overpopulation of a species be a problem to an ecosystem?
Over population of a particular species will cause the food chain in that ecosystem to become unstable. Over population will also reduce the amount of producers within an ecosystem (depending if the over population is of a consumer) and will lead to the decrease of other animal species inhabiting the same ecosystem.

What is one effect of effect of immigration on population living in an ecosystem?
The population will decrease-- APEX

If an ecosystem decreases in space what will happen to competition?
In population biology, carrying capacity is defined as the environment's maximal load which is different from the concept of population equilibrium.Hence, if an ecosystem decreases in space, competition will also decrease.
What factors affect the populations in an?
One factor that can affect the populations in an ecosystem is that, if an ecosystem had owls with no predators, the owl population would increase and eat all the mice in the ecosystems. The population of the mice would decrease more and more.
In a certain ecosystem owls are predators for mice. The owl population increases and they eat more mice. This causes the mouse population to decrease. What happens next?
the population of owls decreases

Over population will also reduce the amount of producers within an ecosystem (depending if the over population is of a consumer) and will lead to the decrease of other animal species inhabiting the same ecosystem.
In a certain ecosystem, owls are predators for mice. The owl population increases, and they eat more mice. This causes the mouse population to decrease. What happens next?
the population of owls decreases. (Apex)
What would happen to the food web if mountain lions or sharks became vegetarians?
the producers would decrease in population as the herbivores which the sharks would have ate, would grow in population.
