There is no short term effect, the cycle will just go in these four stages.
more predators= fewer preys
too little food= predators starve
few predators= more prey survive
food plentiful= more predators survive
the predator-prey cycle is the increase and decrease in population size of the predator and its prey
When the predator eats its prey, the prey population will go down because they're being eaten. Now there's is not enough prey because it has been eaten, there's nothing for the predator to eat. So, some die from startvation. Then the prey population increases because they are not being eaten, since the predators died of starvation. - Alexis (future vet!)
A life cycle (Predator and Prey).
Example: Lion = Predator Gazelle = Prey The predator seeks after the prey.
A prey is what a predator hunts down to kill and eat. A prey's predator is what eats it. For example: A gazelle is the prey of a leopard (predator).
They are prey and predator.

What is the answer of this question is shrew a predator or a prey
There always has to be more prey than predator. If there is less prey, it will get eaten by the predator and then the predator will starve. If there are not enough predators, the prey may overpopulize.
