The population size of a predator species is directly controlled the availability (population size, etc.) of its prey species.
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.
The population size of its prey.
Reproduction is directly linked to the stability of the population of species because it helps in replacing the aging population with the new population and thus ensures the survival of the species. In the absence of reproduction one particular species will disappear with time.
The mouse population will increase. (apex)
Unless specified, population refers to all lifeforms within the given area; if a species is given with the population, then yes, it does contain only one species. For example, the bird population in a country would consist of many species, but the emperor penguin population of Antractica would be only one.
Ecology is the study of interactions between organisms and their environment. Population dynamics, the study of changes in population size and composition, have a direct impact on ecology as they influence factors such as competition for resources, predator-prey relationships, and species diversity. Changes in population size can lead to shifts in ecosystem structure and function, affecting the overall balance of the ecosystem.
Genetic diversity refers to the variety of genetic material within a species or population. It includes different gene variations and DNA sequences present within individuals of the same species. Genetic diversity is important for a species' ability to adapt to changing environments and for the overall health and resilience of the population.
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.
Bottom-up regulation is defined as the size of predator and prey populations that is controlled by the scarcity of one or more resources.

No, not all introduced species are invasive because they may have a natural predator that will eat them in their new environment. Also because the species can be biologically controlled, chemically controlled or mechanically controlled.
It depends if one species of fish is a predator to another and the population of the predator fish is higher then the prey fish then the prey fish will be lower in population
When a predator reduces the number of one species in a habitat, the population of competing species can increase. With less competition for food, water, and shelter, a species can thrive and reproduce more rapidly than when it is being out-competed.
Crocodiles are part of an ecosystem, and can be considered an apex predator. As a predator, they contribute to population control of prey species.
Their population could grow much faster, and they could compete with other species for food.
An exponential growth curve is typically seen if there is no predator for a population of animals or if the predator's population decreases. Without any, or many, predators to keep the species' population in check, the population may grow rapidly. An example is the Burmese python in Florida. Since it's an invasive species instead of native to the area, the Burmese python has no natural predators there and has experienced a surge in population.
This will depend on the specific ecosystem and the specific predator and prey relationship being examined within that ecosystem. If, as an oversimplified example, a drought caused a reduction in edible plant foods for a prey animal, the population of said prey animal may decrease. If the prey population decreased, there would not be enough food to support the current predator population, and a number of the predators would die until a balance was reached.The overall idea is fairly simple, however. If weather conditions are favorable to the increase of the population of a prey species, then the prey species's population will increase, all other things being equal. When the population of a prey species increases, then more of the offspring of the predator species can survive, allowing the population of the predator to increase. If weather somehow decreases the population of a prey animal, then this will also reduce the population of the predator species, all other things being equal.It is important to remember, however, that ecosystems are very complicated and it is rare that a predator will only have one prey item and a prey item will have only one predator. As a result, if a changed condition caused one prey species to decrease but another one to increase, the predator population may not be affected, and so on.
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.
It is a controlled process, such as organization growth or species population or size, or distribution.
