Relationship between a predator and prey?
A predator-prey relationship tends to keep the populations of both species in balance. As the prey population increases, so, after a slight lag, the predator population increases as well. As the number of predators increases, more prey are captured.
Is it advantageous for a predator to prey on a single prey species?
Not true.
Is it advantageous for a predator to prey exclusively on a single prey species?
Not true.
The population size of a predator species is directly controlled by?
The population size (number) of a predator species is directly controlled by the availability of a food source (prey). The more prey available, the greater growth in the number of predator species.
How is co-evolution significant in community ecology?
because it determines whether a species will evolve to keep up with its predator or prey
What is the relationship between two species?
predator/prey
What is the population size of predator species directly controlled by?
The population size of predator species is typically controlled by the availability of prey, competition with other predators, and environmental factors like habitat and climate. The population size can fluctuate based on these factors, leading to dynamic predator-prey relationships.
Conditions of stable coexistence between predator and prey include?
Conditions for stable coexistence between predator and prey include a balance between their populations, where the prey population is sufficient to support the predator but not so numerous that it depletes their shared resources. Additionally, the presence of other predators or factors that limit the predator population can help maintain this balance. Adaptations that allow prey to detect and evade predators, as well as predator efficiency in catching prey, also play a role in stable coexistence.
Do the prey of one species might also be the predator of another species?
Yes.
Is the sloth bear a predator or a prey species?
Sloth bears are prey to bengal tigers, but happens on occasion.
What kind of relationship does a polar bear have with other species?
The Polar bear is a giant apex predator and hence it shares a Predator - Prey relationship with other species.
What is a limiting factor for the A limiting factor in an ecosystem is a needed resource that is in limited supply what would be a limiting factor for a predator species?
A limiting factor for a predator species could be a decrease in prey population, which would reduce the predator's food source. Additionally, competition with other predator species for the same prey can also be a limiting factor. Environmental factors such as habitat loss or degradation could further impact the predator's ability to thrive.
