What are the effects of population change?
Well for an example, if the number of hunters increase in the forests then the population of deer will decrease and the other predators of the deer have nothing to feed on and will eventually starve.
What are two factors that may have led to an increase in the number of White-tailed Deer?
Part of the reason the population is going up is because the deer's predators are being hunted and killed. Because the population of the predators are going down, more deer are surviving.
How does a change in the prey population effect the predator population?
A change in the prey population effects the predator population because if there are alot of preys, then the predators would eat the preys and the population of predators would increase. But on the other hand, if there are not enough preys, the predators would starve and die which would decrease the population of predators.
Wolves are predators of deer. What is most likely to happen to the deer population if the wolf population increased?
Extinct. Wolves are predators of deer. If the wolf population increases the deer population will become extinct. Log in for more information.
What might have caused a decrease in deers?
Deer are related to other herd animals and diseases do pass between them. Ticks and biting flies are a main source of cross-contamination. Also drought can curtail population as food becomes scarce and the deer are weakened to the point they succumb to predators or illness. An increase in predators in the area will also lead to a decrease in the herd population.
Do deer eat barries?
of course. When deer are hungry, they increase the variety of plants and plant parts that they consume.
What would happen to the plants in an ecosystem if the deer population increases every year because of hunting has been restricted?
Plant population would be drastically reduced due to overgrazing from the deer. Also other animal populations would drop because of the increased population of deer takes away from the sickly animals larger carnivores prey on. Henceforth, the population increase of deer not only effects plants, but the bugs that eat them and the animals that prey off of the deer.
How does the presence of predators help keep the ecosystem stable?
Well predators keep the population of like deer from eating all the plants
Why have deer population increased?
Deer are related to other herd animals pass between a them .also drought can curtail population as food becomes scarce and deer are weakened to the point they succumb to predators or illness
What is the cause and effect if the population of deer in a forest increases and the population of wolves in a forest increases?
The increased deer population is the cause and the increased wolf population is the effect (more deer means more food for the wolves, which enables their population to increase).
What are to factors that may have led to an increase in the number of whited tailed deer?
Two factors that may have led to an increase in the number of White-tailed Deer are a big food source and less predators.
Use the terms ecosystem community and population to describe the area where you live?
In a temperate deciduous forest ecosystem community devoid of large predators, the variety of nuts, berries and other edible plants encourages a large increase in the deer population.
