Relationship between a predator and prey?
A predator-prey relationship tends to keep the populations of both species in balance. As the prey population increases, so, after a slight lag, the predator population increases as well. As the number of predators increases, more prey are captured.
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.
The population size of a predator species is directly controlled by?
The population size (number) of a predator species is directly controlled by the availability of a food source (prey). The more prey available, the greater growth in the number of predator species.
What is the population size of predator species directly controlled by?
The population size of predator species is typically controlled by the availability of prey, competition with other predators, and environmental factors like habitat and climate. The population size can fluctuate based on these factors, leading to dynamic predator-prey relationships.
What is the relationship between two species?
predator/prey
How is co-evolution significant in community ecology?
because it determines whether a species will evolve to keep up with its predator or prey
Conditions of stable coexistence between predator and prey include?
Conditions of stable coexistence between predator and prey are: a) Lots of prey. b) Prey should have an high reproduction rate. c) Not a too high a number of predators. d) A little of luck from Mother Nature.
Do the prey of one species might also be the predator of another species?
Yes.
Is the sloth bear a predator or a prey species?
Sloth bears are prey to bengal tigers, but happens on occasion.
How does the presence of predators help keep an ecosystem stable?
The predators keep prey populations balanced.
What kind of relationship does a polar bear have with other species?
The Polar bear is a giant apex predator and hence it shares a Predator - Prey relationship with other species.
