What happens to the prey population if the predator population increases?
it stays the same or increases with the preythe prey will run out of food making it's population decrease. that will cause the predator's population to go down because of the lack of food
What is the owls prey?
Owls prey on a variety of animals such as rodents, insects, small mammals, fish, and even other birds. They have excellent hunting skills and are known for their ability to spot and catch their prey in low-light conditions using their keen senses of sight and hearing.
What is a European nocturnal bird of prey?
The European nocturnal bird of prey is the barn owl (Tyto alba). Barn owls are known for their heart-shaped facial disks, excellent hunting skills in low-light conditions, and silent flight due to specialized feathers. They primarily feed on rodents, making them important for pest control in agricultural areas.
Are cats predators or prey?
Cats are natural predators. They have sharp claws, excellent vision in low light, and the ability to stalk and pounce on their prey. Despite this, cats can also become prey for larger predators in the wild.
Do jaguars hunt at night?
Yes, jaguars are primarily nocturnal animals, meaning they are most active during the night. This behavior helps them avoid competition with other predators and allows them to hunt their prey effectively in low light conditions.
What are the Ecological conditions necessary for a sit-and-wait?
low predator energy requirement high prey density high prey mobility

How do predator adaptations help them to survive in times when there is low prey population?
Predator adaptations, such as enhanced hunting skills, increased mobility, and versatile diets, enable them to survive during periods of low prey populations. For instance, some predators may develop opportunistic feeding behaviors, allowing them to exploit alternative food sources. Additionally, refined sensory abilities can help them locate prey more efficiently, even in sparse environments. These adaptations enhance their chances of survival by maximizing their resource use in challenging conditions.
Which is most likely-prey limits predators or predators limit prey?
There is truly no answer... And there is no equality in nature either. The balance of nature is in fact; that it is, constantly out of balance. The predator / prey relationship looks like 2 alternating rollercoasters on a graph over time. But I believe that the prey limits predator. When predator levels become too high, usually because of high prey levels, they prey is inadvertently limiting or controlling the predator by providing large quantities of food. Eventually, the predators will consume most all their prey and most predators will perish. Only the strongest, fastest, smartest, determined and resistant to disease and famine will survive. Thus, the lack of prey, is now the limiting the predator by its own absence. At some point the predator's population will rebound. But only once the prey have reached high enough levels again, to supply the predator with an ample food source to be successful and thus increase reproductivity. Also, it is also up to the prey's ability to survive those low spots on the graph that will ultimately determine the predators fate. The prey is limiting the predator in all the scenarios I can think of! The supply of prey also is another way that they can inadvertently limit the predator. ~Matt G.

Is zooplankton a prey or predator?
Everything. Zooplankton and phytoplankton are as low on the food chain as you can reach. Small fish, certain whales, sponges, corals, jellyfish, sea urchins, crustaceans and other animals all actively prey on plankton.
Where does squids fit into the marine food web?
predator
Is a seagull a primary producer in the Atlantic Ocean?
A primary producer would be a plant or something that would make its own food. A seagull would be more of a scavenger or a low level predator.
How could a predator differ from a carnivore?
A predator is an animal that hunts and kills other animals for food, while a carnivore is an animal that primarily eats meat. Not all carnivores are predators as some may scavenge or eat carrion, while predators actively hunt and kill their prey.

How many times would a cell be magnified if you viewed it through the low power lens?
Typically, the low power lens magnifies a specimen by 10x. So, if you view a cell through the low power lens, the cell would be magnified 10 times its actual size.
Which is not a characteristic of a stable community 1 good resistance to insect pests 2 the ability to recover rapidly from a drought 3 a high species richness 4 a low number of predators?
4 a low number of predators is not a characteristic of a stable community. A stable community usually has a balance between predator and prey populations, contributing to the overall health and resilience of the ecosystem. Having a low number of predators can disrupt this balance and impact the stability of the community.
