What dramatically changes when Whelk are removed from the simulated system?
When Whelk are removed from the simulated system, the population dynamics of their prey species, such as mussels and other shellfish, can dramatically increase due to the absence of predation. This population explosion can lead to overgrazing of available resources, resulting in a decline in habitat quality and biodiversity. Additionally, the removal of Whelk disrupts the ecological balance, potentially causing cascading effects throughout the food web, impacting other species and the overall health of the ecosystem.

Can a whelk eat a hermit crab?
Yes, a whelk can eat a hermit crab. Whelks are carnivorous marine snails that prey on various invertebrates, including crustaceans like hermit crabs. They use their specialized radula to drill through the hard shell of the hermit crab to access its soft body. However, the likelihood of this occurring depends on the size and species of both the whelk and the hermit crab.
Is whelk a producer?

How is the response of the periwinkles and whelks likely to affect the population of hermit crabs?
The response of periwinkles and whelks, both of which are predators of juvenile hermit crabs, can significantly impact hermit crab populations. If these predators increase in number or alter their feeding behavior, they may reduce the survival rates of juvenile hermit crabs, leading to a decline in their overall population. Conversely, if periwinkle and whelk populations decrease or shift their diet, hermit crab populations may rebound. Thus, the dynamics between these species can create fluctuations in hermit crab numbers depending on predator pressures.
