the ecosystem would go out of order
EX:the mice would have no lynx to eat them,so there would be lots of mice,the mice would eat all the bugs,so no bugs, and the grass has no bugs to eat them so there would bbe lots of grass

∙ 9y agoThe population of hare will increase because of over population if the lynx becomes extinct because the lynx is a natural predator of the hare.

Explain how then lynx population size changes when the hare population increases?
Because lynx are predators of hares, if the hare population size increases, so will the lynx population because now there is more food available.
How the lynx population size changes when the hare population increases?
When the snowshoe rabbits become scarce, the lynx population is low as well. This is because the Snowshoe rabbit is the main prey of the Canada lynx. This explains that some lynx starve to death when they cannot eat the Snowshoe hare. Also, when female lynx are in a bad condition because they are starved, some cannot breed. In conclusion, whenever the Snowshoe rabbit's population decreased, the Lynx population was low also.
What term applies to the relationship between the population of the snowshoe hare and lynx in Canada?
A lynx is a carnivore and a hare is a herbivore. Meaning that the hare eats plants and the lynx eats meat. A hare is meat, so a lynx could feed off of the hare. the Canadian lynx preys heavily on the snowshoe hare.
When the hare population increased what happened to the lynx population why?
The Lynx population got larger because there were enough prey for all the predators.
What happens to the hare population when the Lynx population increases?
The Lynx population got larger because there were enough prey for all the predators.
When the hare population increased what happened to the lynx population. Why?
The Lynx population got larger because there were enough prey for all the predators.
If an entire lynx population disappears what is likely to happen to the hare population on which it preys?
When the snowshoe rabbits become scarce, the lynx population is low as well. Its cause the Snowshoe rabbit is the main prey of the Canada lynx. This explains that some lynx starve 2 death when they cann't eat the Snowshoe hare. Also, when female lynx are in a bad condition cause they're starved, some cann't breed. In conclusion, whenever the Snowshoe rabbit's population decreased, the Lynx population was low also.
How does the lynx population size affect the hare population?
The lynxes eat rabbits, so their effect is to reduce the rabbit population.
How would the snowshoe hare population change if hunters killed most of the lynxes?
I think that the snowshoe hare population would increase because lynx hunt them so if most of the lynx were hunted then there would be less snowshoe hares killed
When the hare popluation increased what happend to the lynx poplution why?
With increased hares (easy prey, food) the lynx population would also increase. Should the hare numbers decrease, the lynx would find it difficult to catch their food and would decrease in numbers.
Why does the lynx population go up as the hare population goes up?
Hares are a food source for lynxes. Lynxes are a predator of hares. Hares rely on plants for food and lynxes rely on hares (inter alia) for food. If the hare population increases due, perhaps, to lots of good plant food, then the lynxes (and maybe the foxes) have more food and can support more babies which survive to maturaty. Too many lynxes and too few hares means not enough food for the lynxes. Baby lynxes starve and the balance is adjusted. JCF
What is the relationship between the lynx the hare called?
"Parasite" since only one organism (the lynx) benefits from the interaction (or in this case, preying) on the other organism (the hare).
