What role do predators play in maintaining the balance of an ecosystem?
Henfrayyy:57 minutes agoIf natural selections deselects the prey with qualities that can make it a worthy adversary to the predator, the predator's chief source of food will diminish and with it the predator. In consequence, the surviving prey will increase in population. The net effect is that the predator-prey balance will be upset.
Does co-evolution contribute to natural selection?
Yes. In a predator/prey environment, a fast predator puts a selective pressure on the population of their pray so that the fastest of the prey elude and survive. The faster predators can catch prey and the ones that don't die, so only the fastest of the predators survive... and it cycles this way so that only the fastest of the animals survives.The same works for other situations. For example, birds develop better and better eye sight to spot their prey who are getting better and better at camouflaging themselves.
