What will happen to the population of owls and mice if the grass dies out?
both will experience population drops. if there is no grass, there will be less insects, less mice to eat the insects, and less owls to eat the mice.
What happened to the numbers of lynx as the hare population increased?
As the hare population increased, the number of lynx would also increase due to the higher availability of prey. This increase in lynx population would eventually lead to a decrease in the hare population as the lynx preyed on them, creating a cyclical pattern of predator-prey dynamics.
If the population of snakes increases the population of frogs will most likely?
Decrease, as snakes are predators of frogs and an increase in snake population would lead to more predation on frogs, reducing their population.
If raccoons were extinct what would happen?
First of all, no more garbadge messes. Second over population of birds, rats, and reptiles. Third, one less type of meal for wolves and bears, And finally less rabies around the woodlsands and cities. Really not all that big of a deal, though.
How do you think an increase in the lynx population affect the hare population why?
An increase in the lynx population would likely lead to a decrease in the hare population, as lynx are natural predators of hares. As the lynx population grows, they would exert more predation pressure on hares, likely resulting in higher mortality rates among them. This predator-prey dynamic can help maintain ecological balance, but if the lynx population becomes too large, it could significantly reduce the hare population, potentially leading to long-term consequences for both species.
Which population would increase if the insects were eliminated?
If insects were eliminated, populations of certain animals that rely on insects as a primary food source—such as birds, small mammals, and amphibians—might initially decrease due to the loss of food. However, some predators that are not dependent on insects, like larger mammals or certain birds of prey, could see an increase in their populations as competition decreases. Additionally, plants that rely on insect pollination could suffer, leading to declines in herbivores that depend on those plants, ultimately affecting entire ecosystems.
What do you predict will happen in the bay if the blue crabs were eliminated from the environment?
First of all, the prey of the blue crab would decrease in population and the predators would increase in population. As a result the whole food chain would be thrown off.
Does the population size increase or decrease at higher trophic levels in the pyramid of numbers of an ecosystem consisting of a tree insects (that are herbivores) and birds feeding on the insects?
Population sizes decrease at higher trophic levels. If they increased the insects population would decrease meaning there would be less food available for the birds so their population size would then decrease. Look at the relationships between predator and prey species for more information
Does the population size increase or decrease at higher trophic levels in the pyramid of numbers of an ecosystem consisting of any herbivores and birds feeding on the insects?
Population sizes decrease at higher trophic levels. If they increased the insects population would decrease meaning there would be less food available for the birds so their population size would then decrease. Look at the relationships between predator and prey species for more information
What population would show the quickest increase if perch were eliminated from the food chain?
Whatever perch eat would increase in numbers. White perch are known to eat the eggs of such walleye and other true perches. And they eat small minnows like mud minnows and fathead minnows.
A pesticide kills 99.9 percent of a pest population What will be the result of the continued application of this pesticide?
the 0.1% of the population would be resistant, should they breed the sucessive populations would be resistant resulting in the product becoming ineffective over time Study Island Question : Chemicals can affect an ecosystem. Which of the following is a result of pesticide application? Answer: Pesticide kills all kinds of insects, including predatory insects, which in turn can increase the population of insects for which the pesticide was intended.
If natality equal to mortality what would cause the population to increase?
Immigration could cause the population to increase.
Which organism has the largest population?
That would be rats. then I believe insects then humans.
What population would not be affected by an increase in the krill population?
clams
Why would the biomass of a frog population be smaller then the biomasss population of the insect population?
Insects are very small and reproduce very fast.This allows them to have larger populations.. One frog needs to eat many insects to gain enough nutrients.The amount of insects that have to be consumed for one frog limits the population..
A decline in the number of frogs would affect other species. Using the term food chain explain how the decline would affect a insects b algae?
It would affect the insects because they would multiply and would sworm. It would affect the algae because it would not go away it would stay on the surfice and there would be no clean water to swim in.
Would the increase in the population of centipedes affect the population of woodlice in a leaf-litter?
Yes
