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.
What happened to the two population between 1935 and 1945?
maybe some hares got killed by the lynx and other gave birth so for hares pop. will go down first and then a little bit up and for lynx pop. it will go up.
What is happening to the bobcats population?
The bobcat (Lynx Rufus) has a stable population over most of it's range.
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
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.
When the hare population increased what happened to the lynx population and why?
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.

What is the population of LYNX Express?
The population of LYNX Express is 3,500.
Why does the lynx population go down when the hare population goes up?
the ecosystem would go out of orderEX: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
What is the predator of Arctic hares?
The most famous one is the lynx, but humans have hunted them too.
Predict what happened to the two populations between 1935 and 1945?
maybe some hares got killed by the lynx and other gave birth so for hares pop. will go down first and then a little bit up and for lynx pop. it will go up.
Where does the Eurasian lynx live?
The biome or ecosystem of the Eurasian Lynx (lynx lynx)consists of places in all continents excluding Antarctica, Australia, and both Americas. In other words, Europe, Asia, and Africa. Tending to stay more north towards Russia, the Eurasian Lynx spottings are somewhat rare as it is slightly threatened by an unstable population because of protected area poachers. The current status of the Eurasian Lynx is: Least Concern as of September 14, 2010.
